Khajuraho
- about 200 kms from Jhansi is in a wilderness and not really enroute to anywhere
or from anywhere, you should not miss the beautiful, ornate Temples built by
the chandelas in the 10th and 11th centuries.
The Temples have survived precisely because of their isolation at a site where
there is neither a town or an industry. The Chandelas ruled for five centuries
and the 85 Khajuraho Temples out of which only 22 have survived were the outpourings
of their creative genius over a hundred years period. The Temples were constructed
from 950 AD to 1050 AD and are in three distinct groups.
These Temples have been designed and carved to lead the eyes from ground level
upward till you seem to be looking at heaven. The world at large identifies
the Khajuraho Temples as sensuous and erotic sculptures.
But they are more than just that, Life in every mood has been captured in stone,
testifying not only to the craftman's artistry but also to the extraordinary
breadth of vision of the Chandela Rajputs.
