About Madan Sagar & Kakramath
The largest of the Chandela lakes, built by Madanavarman in the 12th century, with the Kakramath temple standing on a rock island in the water. The temple is granite, Khajuraho in plan, and half ruined, which suits it. Gorakhgiri hill rises on the west shore and the sunset over the water is the best in Mahoba.
What to see and do
