| About Khajuraho Tourism |
|
Located in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, Khajuraho has emerged as a renowned tourist destination from a tiny unknown village. A World UNESCO Heritage Site, Khajuraho is better known as the Temple Town. Famed for its magnificent Jain and Hindu temples and intricate stone sculptures, Khajuraho
remains the epitome of the temple architectural style and aesthetic
sensibility. Of the 85 beautiful temples, only 22 have survived the
ravages of time. Made of sandstone blocks fitted together, these remain
as a collective glorification to life, love and joy, to the spirit of
creativity and human relationships. Built by the Chandela rulers in 9th and 10th
century AD, the temples exhibit carved images of gods and goddesses,
celestial maidens and dancers, animals and musicians, all frozen in
stone. The
unique spiral architecture of these temples makes them even more
interesting. The temples stand on high masonry platforms and have three
sections, the ardhamandapa or the entrance, mandapa or the assembly hall and garbha griha
