A circular with 42 Yogini temples is extant; there are no Yogini images at present (where are the images ?)



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).



Badoh-Pathari, Vidisha district
The Gadarmal temle was formerly surronded by 42 Yogini temples in rectagular - though none are extant.



Hinglajgarh
? number of Yogini images were found in the fort, 5 of which are at Birla museum. a few images from here are also at  Bhopal and the Indore museum. Other images are still in the shed at the origin amongst other images.

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.
