The '''Chausath Yogini Temple, Bhedaghat''', also called the '''Golaki Math''' ("circular lodge"),{{sfn|White|2006|p=136}} is one of India's [[yogini temples]], but exceptionally it has shrines for 81 rather than the usual 64 [[yogini]]s. All the same, scholars include it among the 64-yogini temples (चौंसठ ''chausath'' meaning 64 in [[Hindi]]). The group of 81 (''ekashiti'' in Hindi) is a mark of royalty, implying that the temple was founded by a king. The large temple is on a hilltop above the river [[Narmada]] in [[Bhedaghat]] (Hindi भेड़ाघाट, also transliterated Bheraghat), some 5 km from [[Jabalpur]], [[Madhya Pradesh]].{{sfn|Dehejia|1986|pp=125–140}} | The '''Chausath Yogini Temple, Bhedaghat''', also called the '''Golaki Math''' ("circular lodge"),{{sfn|White|2006|p=136}} is one of India's [[yogini temples]], but exceptionally it has shrines for 81 rather than the usual 64 [[yogini]]s.
