Khajuraho temples, constructed with spiral superstructures, adhere to a north Indian shikhara temple style and often to a Panchayatana plan or layout. A few of the temples are dedicated to the Jain pantheon and the rest to Hindu deities -  Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and various Devi forms such as the Devi Jagadambi temple. A Panchayatana temple had four subordinate shrines on four corners and the main shrine in the center of the podium which comprises their base.
