Chausath Yogini was the earliest temple constructed circa A.D. 850-900, and was the only temple made entirely of granite. Every other temple at Khajuraho is primarily constructed of sandstone. The stones were put together with mortise and tenon joints and they were held in place by gravity. This form of construction requires very precise joints. These temples are world treasures and Khajuraho is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India.
