Khajuraho
Group of Monuments
Brief Description
Built during the Chandella Dynasty, at its height between
950 and 1050, the temples of Khajuraho, of which only
about 20 remain and which fall under three distinct
groups, belong to two different religions - Brahmanism 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
