Standing against the backdrop of the Vindhyas, Khajuraho presents a magnificent view to the beholder.
It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India. It is also one of the most popular tourist spots in Madhya Pradesh. It is famous for its ancient temples that depict some of the finest art in the world. Built between 950-1050 AD by the Chandela dynasty, these temples depict various forms like meditation, spiritual teachings, kinship, wrestling, and royalty.
Some of the famous temples in the complex are the Lakshmana Temple, the Vishwanatha Temple and the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple.
The temples in Khajuraho are broadly divided into three parts: the Eastern group, the Southern Group and the Western group of temples. The Khajuraho Dance Festival is held every year in February. It features various classical Indian dances set against the backdrop of this architectural marvel. The Khajuraho temple complex hosts a very good sound-and-light show every evening.
