Khajuraho Temples

Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, India

4.9 (0)

Overview

The UNESCO Chandela temples (950–1050 CE) whose sandstone walls carry the most celebrated sculpture cycle in India — gods, dancers, lovers and life itself.

Why visit: India's sculptural summit — nothing else carved comes close.

History: Of 85 original temples 25 survive, saved by jungle obscurity until T.S. Burt's 1838 'rediscovery'; Kandariya Mahadeva is the masterwork.
