Dashavatar Temple:
This fine Gupta temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is the earliest known Panchayatan temple in north India. The terraced basement above the high plinth is decorated with sculpted panels. The figures of Ganga and Yamuna adorn the carved doorway leading to the sanctum sanctorum. Only the lower portion remains of the spire, which was the most important part of the temple. Jain Temples: These 31 Jain temples are somewhat later in origin than the Vishnu temple, but are no less remarkable. They are situated inside the fort of Karnali on the hills overlooking the Betwa. The temples abound in panels depicting scenes from Jain mythology, tirthankara images, votive pillars, votive tablets, Jain images visible from all sides and pillars carved with a thousand Jin figures.
