I finally made it to Khajuraho today, after two (lengthy) train journeys. I missed out on Khajuraho, along with Hampi, when I visited India last year and was determined to see them this time.
So what’s here you ask, well temple and a lot of them (though not as many as there was. The Khajuraho Group of Monuments are a group of Hindu and Jain temples, there were well over 80 no now there are about 22 left. I only had time to explore the Western Group, but those are the main ones.
The temples are probably best know for having some ‘erotic’ carvings and there are some scattered in the photographs I took. I probably missed quite a lot of the erotic art as I wasn’t overly looking for it - I did see you could get a tour guide just to see it all! The erotic stuff is only on the outside of the temples, nothing untoward inside.
The Khajuraho temples were built between 885 and 1000 CE by the Chandela dynasty. The temple complex was forgotten and overgrown by the jungle until 1838 when Captain T.S. Burt, a British engineer, came across them.
There is a logically route to follow. I started with the biggest temple - the Kandaria Mahadev Temple, it is dedicated to Shiva and has many spires to resemble Mountain Kailasha in Himalayas. Next up was the Devi Jagadambi Temple, followed by the Chitragupta Temple. The Parvati Temple was next followed by the Visvanatha Temple and Nandi Shrine. The last temples I visited were the Pratapeshwar Temple, Laksmi Temple, Varaha Temple and Lakshmana Temple which were in their own section.

Jagadambi Temple, Khajuraho. Built between 1000 and 1025 A.D. and sharing the same platform as the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple and Mahadeva Shrine, the Jagadambi Temple (also known as Devi Jagadamba) was originally dedicated to Vishnu. This is suggested by the iconography in the cardinal niches of the temple, as well as the door lintel having a central image of the God. Although much restored and architecturally far less elaborate that its close neighbour the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple, the temple is famous for the graceful sculptures on the exterior wall. The carvings are of similar high quality and no less exquisite compared to any that can be found in Khajuraho. #swiggywala #localguides @googlemaps #khajuraho #khajurahotemples #incredibletemples #madhyapradesh #madhyapradeshtourism #mptourism #unesco #worldheritagesite #worldhistoricalmonuments #thegenuineindia #templesofindia https://www.instagram.com/p/Cby5asXPlEi/?utm_medium=tumblr
