Khajuraho Temples
This privately designed heritage trip will start with your driver picking you up from your hotel at 8:00 in the morning. This collection of Hindu, Buddhist or Jain temples are famous for their amazing sculptures and carvings, inclined symbols and signs and nagara-style architecture. Its unique and marvelous architecture has placed it in the lists of UNESCO sites of World Heritage. Built-in early 10th -12th century these temples are marvellous pieces of architecture in current time.
These sensational sculptures and architecture depict the massive passion, amazing music, dance, and other creative arts and their geniuses of Chandela dynasty. Situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh this group of temples numbered to 85, out of which only 20 has survived over this long period of time. Presently these are distinctively divided into two groups as Western and Eastern group of temples.
This cluster of temples is believed to connect with an interesting story of Chandela dynasty. It is said that the Moon God attracted and physically connected to a beautiful Brahmin girl, Hemvati in desire and passion. This resulted in the birth of Chandravarman, the founder of the Chandela Dynasty. Once Chandravarman had a dream of his mother requesting him to make a temple picturing the treasure of passion and amazing fantasy to the world. This led to the construction of temples with amazing sculptures in this little village surrounded by mountains of Chatarpur district. Every temple is different from another and two temples amongst them were built of sandstone.
