The Eastern Group of Khajuraho Temples is divided into two sections: Jain temples and Hindu temples. Parsvanath Temple is the largest and finest of the Jain temples, built in the 10th century with exquisite sculptures depicting daily life, animals, and geometric patterns. Unlike the Western Group, erotic scenes are rare here, with focus on traditional floral and geometric motifs of Jain art.
