A travel to Khajuraho, in Madhya Pradesh would take you to the land where eroticism meets religion. Built between 950 and 1050 AD, by the Chandela kings, Khajuraho remained forgotten for long. Only in 1838 a young British officer, while passing by the place, heard about the temples from the locals and could not resist the temptation to visit the site. Since then Khajuraho has continued to lure the travelers across the world.

Beautiful stone friezes of gods, goddesses, kings and heroes, courtesans, couples in carnal embrace would greet you as you travel to Khajuraho. Although the sculptures depict the human passion with utmost details, a distinct aesthetic appeal marks the sculptures in Khajuraho. Why on earth were the temples built in such an obscure part of central India, how could they get such exceptionally talented sculptors and why so much of sensuality - questions would keep teasing you as you travel to Khajuraho. You would realize that the sculptures do look like a dream only when you take a walk around the enclosures.

Tourist attractions in Khajuraho speak volumes for the architectural skills of the Chandela period when they were built. Time has been ruthless on these superb works of art. Out of 84 temples in originally, today only 25 remain.

Also keep a day to pay a visit to the nearby Panna National Park and the Rane Falls. Exotic wild lives and the splendid landscape would add an extra charm to your travel to Khajuraho.

Do attend a session of Light and Sound Show in your travel to Khajuraho. The show is held every evening (except monsoon seasons) in the temples.
