Khajuraho Tourism India

Mystic Khajuraho...
When you travel to Khajuraho, you will agree that there is nothing in this world that could compare with the art Khajuraho. The sense of imagination have given form to human emotions in the form of spiritual and physical love in the many figures of art in Khajuraho. Every facade-wall, window, pillar, and ceiling is carved with sculptures, figures of mythical and historical origins, and while many of these full-breasted, girdle-waisted women in forms of innocent play, they depict carnal love.

Travel to Khajuraho reveals that it lives true to its name, it is a place where a lot of Khajur trees could be found. Khajuraho is a small town located in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh in India, famed for a complex of exquisite Hindu and Jain temples. Spread through the high forest plateaus of the region, these temples were rediscovered only a few years ago.

It was this isolation and the encroachment by jungles that had led the temples of Khajuraho to destruction. The Khajuraho temples' plan, from the simplest to the most sublime, follow the same pattern and all of them are elaborately carved.

Built during the reigns of the mighty Chandela rulers in the 9th and 10th century, carvings on the Khajuraho temples are highly sensual, depicting in graceful forms intimate scenes of the whole range of human emotions and relationships. These sculptures congeal in stone a lyrical paean to love and passion and reflect the Chandela dynasty's immense appreciation for art.
