map of Sri Chausath (64) Yogini temples in Bharat. The exact locations of
some are not known, listed as "where exactly?" on the map. If you

Wikimapia link, a kml / kmz file, the coordinates, or a webpage link - so that

Shahdol district
Somewhere near the villages of Antara and Panchgaon was a
Chausath (64) Yogini temple complex. The temple seems to be non extant , while
about 20 Yogini from the area have been taken to Dhubela musuem near Khajuraho,
5 at Indian musuem of Kolkata which were sourced from Satna and other about 10
images are present at the 2 nearby villages 5 km apart.
The images are of fine workmanship and better preservation
(stone type) than Bhedaghat.
Lokhari/Laukhri now called Lauri, Mau tehsil, Chitrakoot
district (previously part of Banda district)
20 images are(were?) present at the site while many others
had been stolen before that count. A enclusue existed. Most of the images
have animal heads.
The village is located on the map and the temple may be /
have been on one of the hills.
Rikhiyan
Could not locate the village (Chitrakoot district) which is
near the Yamuna - writers who have visited have not bothered to mention the
nearest prominent village.
In 1909 there was 40 Yogini images (sets of 4 yogini per
stone) of which 3 stones = 12 are currenlty kept at Gadhwa fort while the rest
have been stolen (one stone at Denver, Usa).

Atleast 11 large Yogini images were taken from here by a
French in the early 1900s and sold to Musuem at Europe and Usa. 1 Image is at
Madras musuem.
Chausathi Ghat, Varanasi
although it is difficult to believe that the temple and
images have simply vanished, some say that the images were taken by/to nearby
temples.
Qutab Minar (ancient Yoginipur), Delhi
False Locations
Naresar,(Nareshvar), Malanpur, Bhind district, Madhya Pradesh
15 km from Gvaliyar fort.
There is/was NEVER a 64 Yogini temple/s at Naresar. It is a
hoax by the ASI to coverup the fact that they have taken every single Yogini
image from nearby Mitavali. The Yogini images labeled as "from
Naresar" in museum are from Mitavali.
Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu
The Yogini images in international museums "from
Kanchipuram" were/are actually from Kaveripakkam. Kanchipuram was probably
used as was more well known.
Surada / Suruda / Surda
is the name of the villages nearest to the temple which is
otherwise known as being near the villages of Ranipur and Jharial.
