Khajuraho is well known all over the world for its temple architecture and exquisite sculptures.
Situated in the heart of India in the state of Madhya Pradesh, it lies in the forested plains of the region of Bundelkhand.
The Khajuraho temples were built between the 9th and 11th centuries by the warrior kings of the Chandela dynasty. However, the definite reason behind such mass scale temple construction that is now over a thousand years old remains unknown.
According to local legend, these temples were built by the first Chandela raja to atone his mother’s sin, whose consummation with the Moon god hearalded the start of the Chandela dynasty.
These exquisitely carved temples are also the site for an annual mela on the occasion of Shivaratri which is celebrated here as the wedding of Shiva.
This living tradition fits in with the new theory about Khajuraho that the temples were built as wedding chariots for the gods who came to attend the wedding.
Khajuraho combines history, architecture, culture and environment with delectable charm. It takes one away from the noise and pollution of the city, with its fresh air and scenic countryside. Its quaint charm and marvelous beauty of the temples attracts people to it and makes it Madhya Pradesh’s most famous tourist town.
