Beejamandal temple ruins were explored by Archaeological Survey of India and opened for tourists in 1999. It’s situated near Chaturbhuj Temple in Jatkari village. Mostly Archaeologists and historian suggest that it was Vaidyanath temple. It’s surrounded by mounds and this is the highest mound where major exploration work is under progress. At this site villagers were lighting the lamp and worship were performed. This was the largest temple even lager than Kandhariya. It was built on a raised platform. It’s suggested that it might have been built in 900 AD to 950 AD. Craftsmanship and erotic sculptures are quite similar to the Lakshmana temple and Kandhariya Mahadev temple. Plingth is having many such Sculptures and religious motifs. It was also built by Sand stone. Horses and elephants with riders, flying graceful beauties, love making couples, geometrical motifs etc are spectacular. Lot of findings are displayed by the ASI at the site.
