The Vishnu Mandir at Janjgir is an ancient artistic sample of Vaishanv Community.

Vishnu Temple, Janjgir ,  ChattisgarhThe Vishnu Mandir at Janjgir is an ancient artistic sample of Vaishanv Community. This temple was built by kings of Hayhay Vansh in 12th Century. The plan was to construct the temple in two parts and assemble it but it did not go according to the plans and now we can see these both parts of the temple laying on the ground separately and still the temple is uncomplete. Due to this, the temple is also called as Nakata Mandir by local people. There are some carvings of God and goddess as well as Gandharva and Kinnaras on the walls. This temple sure reflects the artistic richness of the era gone by.
