Chausath Yogini Temple, Bhedaghat

The large temple is on a hilltop above the river Narmada in Bhedaghat (Hindi भेड़ाघाट, also transliterated Bheraghat), some 5 km from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

[7] It has a covered walkway with 81 cells for yoginis around the inside of its circular wall; three niches, two to the west, and one to the southeast remain open as entrances.

[10][12] The 81 images include 8 Matrikas, Mother goddesses, from an earlier time;[13] one of them is Chandika, who is depicted riding a human corpse in a cremation ground.

[14] Three niches are now occupied by male gods, namely a dancing Ganesh and two Shivad, most likely from the central shrine as originally constructed.

[7][13] The scholar of Indian and South Asian art Vidya Dehejia writes that the yoginis form a "statuesque seated group", rather over life-size; she describes them as "mature, voluptuous beauties, generously endowed with ample hips and heavy melon-like breasts".

Each yogini image is carved from a rectangular slab of stone with several smaller figures on the base, an ornate throne, and flying deities above.
