41 km north-east of Sanchi, Gyraspur was a place of considerable importance in the medieval period.
Here in the ruins called Athakhambe( Eight Pillars ) and Chaukamble ( Four Pillars) are what remains of the columned halls of two temples belonging to the 9th and 10th centuries AD.
The faceted shafts of Athakhambe with their extreme delicacy of carving testify to the high degree of craftsmanship during the period.
Other monuments of note at Gyraspur are of the early 10th century. Bajra Math and the Mala Devi Temple, the latter distinguished by its carved pillars with foliated motifs, representatives of the richest post-Gupta style.
