The temples at Khajuraho are fine examples of Indo-Aryan architecture. Often called the Temples of the Karma Sutra, they are one of India’s major attractions. Built by the rich and powerful Chandela Emperors, whose dynasty survived for five generations before falling to the onslaught of Islam, the temples are magnificent, and richly carved with erotic images, the recurrent theme being woman in all her glory. There are some 85 temples, most dating from a one century-long burst of creative genius between 950 and 1050 AD. Each temple has a number of spires in ascending order representing man’s aspirations.

Check in at Taj Chandela.
Evening sound & light show.

Day 14, Khajuraho

Breakfast at the hotel.
Visit to the Western and Eastern Groups of Temples

The Western Group: Comprising 10 temples, these are the best known, and most interesting. The two largest, the Kandariya Mahadev, and Lakshmana belong to this group. Kandariya Mahariya is artistically and architecturally the most perfect. Built around 1030 AD it presents Chandella art at its most refined. The main spire is 31 metres high with prolific carving. In total there are some 872 statues and carvings both on the inside and outside. Though similar in design the Lakshmana temple is dedicated to Vishnu, and is one of the oldest temples, dating from around 930 AD. It is also the best preserved.

The Eastern Group: Comprising seven temples, the main being the Parsvanath, Adinatha and Santinatha Jain temples in a walled enclosure, and four others, the Ghantai, Brahma, Vamana and Javari, which are scattered through the village. All covered with carved images in a variety of sensuous attitudes: languid, provocative, mischievously inviting, give credibility to the theory that Khajuraho's erotica were meant to test the devotees who came to worship their gods at the temples.

Afternoon Visit to the Southern Group of Temples

The Southern Group: Only two temples form this group. The fine Chaturbhuj Temple has a massive intricately carved image of Vishnu in the sanctum, and the Duladeo Temple, the most recent of Khajuraho’s temples, is rather isolated and lacks the skilled craftsmanship of the earlier temples.
