Khajuraho

It is a small city located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, known for its incredible Hindu and Jain temples, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. The name Khajuraho comes from the word "Kajur," which in Hindi means "date palm." Before its destruction, the city was an important center of worship and pilgrimage between the 10th and 12th centuries, when the powerful Chandella dynasty established its religious capital there.

Khajuraho is a city that caters to all tastes, as it is ideal for tourists who want to delve into the royal and cultural side of India, visiting its walls, palaces, and museums; and for tourists more focused on enjoying wildlife. In addition to its famous temples, Khajuraho offers a natural environment with enormous lakes, wonderful waterfalls, and a great variety of rock formations.

Temples of Khajuraho

The Khajuraho temples are a monumental complex of Hindu and Jain temples located in Madhya Pradesh, India, famous for their Nagara-style architecture and intricate, often erotic, sculptures. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, they were built by the Chandela dynasty between 950 and 1050 CE.Originally, there were an estimated 80 temples, of which approximately 22 remain today, distributed in three main groups: western, eastern, and southern. The carvings reflect the four aims of life in Hinduism: dharma, kama, artha, and moksha, and depict daily life, deities, musicians, and erotic figures with great artistic detail. The entire area where the temples were built is walled, with eight gates allowing entry to the enclosure.
