For example, she is exhibited with Vishnu in Parshvanatha Jain Temple at the [[Khajuraho Group of Monuments|Khajuraho Monuments]] of Madhya Pradesh,<ref name=vidya/> where she is shown pressed against Vishnu's chest, while Vishnu cups a breast in his palm. The presence of Vishnu-Lakshmi iconography in a Jain temple built near the Hindu temples of Khajuraho, suggests the sharing and acceptance of Lakshmi across a spectrum of Indian religions.<ref name="vidya">Dehejia, Vidya. 2009.
