Historians say

Built as an assertion of Chandela legitimacy while the dynasty's military seat lay at Kalinjar. Building stopped from the 12th century as the court moved to Mahoba and the hill forts. Rediscovered by T.S. Burt in 1838; repaired by the Maharaja of Chhatarpur from 1842; surveyed by Cunningham from 1852.

Historians say

A UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1986 under criteria (i) and (iii). About 85 temples were built by the 12th century over roughly 20 sq km; between 20 and 25 survive across about 6 sq km, in western, eastern and southern clusters, belonging to two religions. The site demonstrates the pinnacle of Nagara temple development in northern India.
