In fact, matangeshwar Mahadev is one of these temples built in the ninth century, in which the Shivling is nine feet inside and out of the ground. It is one of the archaeological temples in Khajuraho that still has a puja. Temple priest Avadhesh Agnihotri said that on the autumn full moon day of Kartik month, the length of the Shivling increases to the same size as sesame. That is, it is as much inside as the Shivling.
The length of the Shivling is measure by the staff of the tourism department, after which each time the length is a little higher than before. It is said that the more the Shivling moves upwards, the more it moves downwards. The temple of Matangeshwar Mahadev is the highest among the temples of Khajuraho.
