Situated
on the south bank of the Bindu Sarovara, this temple,
9.45 metre high, in its architectural features bears
a close resemblance to the Parasurameswar temple.
The Jagamohana had fallen into ruins in course
of time and has been restored recently. Mohini
literally means the temptress. But Chamunda, the
presiding deity of the temple, hardly looks the
part. She is carefully modeled as a ten-armed tantric
version of Kali and presented in a dancing pose
in her terrible best. A six-armed image of Mahisasuramardini
(she who crushed the demon Mahisasura) lies on the
floor of the Jagamohana.
One can see the usual group of parsva-devata such as Parvati, Kartikeya and Ganesha, though many
carvings were left unfinished in the temple.
