Khajuraho - Erotic Poetry In Stone

The temples of Khajuraho are India's unique gift to the world, a melody to life, love and joy; perfect in portraying imagination yet sublime in expression. Built in the 10th and 11th centuries by the Chandela Rajputs, Khajuraho is famous for its exquisite stone carvings which sing every facet and mood of life. Of the 85 original temples, 22 still survive, constituting one of the world's greatest artistic wonders. Watch for the spectacularly mounted Khajuraho light and sound show and enter into the time of Chandela kings thereby tracing the fascinating story of the unique temples that were built during this era. Plan your holiday trip during February-March and you can be a part of the bedazzling Khajuraho Festival of Classical Dances. Every year, this seven-day extravaganza calls for the best classical dancers from all pockets of the country who perform against the spectacular backdrop of the brilliantly lit temples.
