🎧 Listen to Introduction

The temples of Khajuraho were built during the Chandela dynasty, which reached its peak between 950 and 1050. Only about 20 temples remain; they are divided into three different groups and belong to two different religions - Hinduism and Jainism. They strike a perfect balance between architecture and sculpture. The Kandariya Temples are adorned with a large number of sculptures and are one of the greatest masterpieces of Indian art.
