Beejamandal

[4] It has a length of 34.60 meters and is thus longer than the largest temple of Khajuraho namely Kandariya which measures about 30 metres.

[5] Beejamandal which is popularly known as Vijaya Temple is situated about 2 km from Eidgah square on Vidisha-Ashoknagar road.

The building was never finished which can easily be seen by the carved niches and unfinished architectural pieces found round the base of the temple plinth.

An investigation by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) found that the Hindu idols were buried under the platform on the northern side, used as the Hall of Prayer conducted especially on the days of Eid.

[6] Cunningham [7] and Phanikanta Mishra[8] regard this as the Vaidyanath temple mentioned in the Grahapati Kokkala inscription.
