Kandariya Mahadev Temple - The temple complex takes over an area of 6 square kilometers. It is located on the western part of the village and to the west of the Vishnu temple. It is the biggest among the three groups of the Khajuraho temple complexes. This western group of temples, consisting of the historically rich Kandariya, the majestic Matangeshwar and the spectacular Vishwanath temples, is often compared with a cosmic design of a hexagon. It is said to represent the three forms of the Hindu god Shiva. The temple’s architecture is a blend of porches and towers. They are in the form of a shikhara. This feature was typical of the 10th century architecture of central India.
Chaunsath Yogini - The temple is the earliest temple of the group that has survived. It belongs to 900 AD and is dedicated Goddess Kali. It has the distinction of being the only granite temple here.
Chitragupta Temple - Situated on the top of a hill in Khajuraho, Trimukhi temple is known to be one of the oldest temples in India. Also known as 'Karna Mandir', after King Karnadeb Mahachandra, who built it and was constructed under the reign of the Kalachuris. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the destroyer of the universe as per Hindu mythology. The top of the temple is sculpted with the face of Lord Shiva. This shows the immense intricacies carved out by the Kalchuri craftsmen.

Sonakshi Shaktipeeth Temple - This temple is dedicated to the Sun God (Surya Dev). It faces towards east or the rising sun and the imposing image of the image of the deity in the inner sanctum is as high as five feet and is shown driving a horse-drawn chariot.

It showcases the Central Indian style of architecture that began with the Lakshmana Temple and culminated with the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple. These temples exhibit the most fully developed style at Khajuraho. The Vishvanatha site was also built as a panchayatana complex. It consists of one main shrine. It is surrounded by four small subsidiary shrines. Only two of the smaller shrines have survived the ravages of time. The shrine in the south-western side is dedicated to Shiva’s wife Parvati, which is partly damaged.
