Khajuraho group of monuments
The temples at Khajuraho were built during the Chandella dynasty, which reached its highest point between 950 and 1050. Only about 20 temples remain; they fall into three distinct groups and belong to two different religions – Hinduism and Jainism. They strike a perfect balance between architecture and sculpture. The Temple of Kandariya is decorated with a profusion of sculptures that are among the greatest masterpieces of Indian art.
This group of temples were designated as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.
What really sets Khajuraho apart from other temples is the numerous erotic carvings, both inside and outside the temple, that depict men, women, and even animals engaging in lovemaking, orgies, and bestiality under the benign smiles of divinities.
Khajuraho is 175 Kilometers from Jhansi in Utter Pradesh,
