The temple dates backs to approximately 860 AD, this red sandstone temple is a pancharata shrine of the Panchayatan type, in which the main temple is surrounded by four subsidiary shrines at the four corners. Declared a protected monument by the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] in 1928, the temple is an excellent example of early [[Gurjara-Pratihara]] architecture.{{cn|date=May 2016}}<br /> <br /> ==About==<br /> The temple is a repercussion to the vigorous temple-building activity which became a characteristic feature of the Chandellas. The temple is dedicated to Devi (Amba or [[Durga]]) whose multifarious forms are represented in the profusely carved sculptures along the temple walls. The temple stands on elevated ground dominating its surroundings. The main image of the deity is missing from the sanctum sanctorum. Only the [[pedestal]], and the jeweled right foot of a female placed on a lotus stalk, remains. This detail is traditionally associated with the goddess [[Tara (Devi)|Tara]] or Mateswari. The placement of a miniature, sixteen-armed image of a goddess on the central lintel of the entrance further supports the conjecture that the temple is dedicated to a goddess. Erotic sculptures, akin to those at [[Khajuraho]], also grace the Jarai-ka-Math.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.scholarsresource.com/browse/work/2144558768 Pictures of Jarai-ka-Math]<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Uttar Pradesh}}<br /> {{Hindu temples in Uttar Pradesh}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jarai-Ka-Math}}<br /> [[Category:Buildings and structures in Jhansi]]<br /> [[Category:Tourism in Jhansi]]<br /> [[Category:Hindu temples in Uttar Pradesh]]<br /> [[Category:Tourist attractions in Jhansi district]]</div>
