Which one of the following is the cor¬rect description of Kandaria Mahadeo ?

Kandaria Mahadeo (or Kandariya Mahadeva) is the largest and most ornate Hindu temple within the medieval temple complex at Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh [2]. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the name translates to "the Great God of the Cave" [1]. It was constructed by the Chandela dynasty, specifically under the reign of King Vidyadhara between approximately 1017 and 1050 CE [2]. The temple is a premier example of the Nagara (North Indian) style of architecture, featuring a high platform, a series of rising shikharas (peaks) meant to resemble Mount Kailash, and intricate carvings including nearly 900 sculptures [1]. While the Chandelas ruled from capitals like Mahoba and Kalinjar, Khajuraho served as their primary religious and cultural center. It is not located at Elephanta, nor is it a literary work by Bhatti.
