The Jain Community of Khajuraho city was the wealthiest community in India. The Jain legacy here includes one of the finest collections of temples in Madhya Pradesh together with more than dozen Hindu temples. At South east of Khajuraho village, the road ends in front of the complex of Jain temples. On the way to the Jain complex, at the southern edge of the village and barely visible from the road are the ruins of the Ghantai Temple. All that remains are pillars, dangling on chains all carved in stone. There are three main Jain temples, the Parshvanath Temple and the Adinath Temple which both date to the middle ages, and the Shantinath Temple, a more recent building that was constructed from the remins of the temples.
