Temples of Khajuraho - Madhya Pradesh

Temples of Khajuraho, were built during the Chandella dynasty, which reached its apogee 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.

Since 1986, Temple Monuments of Khajuraho have been declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
