About this experience
The Khajuraho Group of Monuments is a group of Hindu temples and Jain temples in Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh, India, about 175 kilometers southeast of Jhansi. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The temples are famous for their nagara-style architectural symbolism and their erotic sculptures. Khajuraho is known around the world for its stunning temples and the depiction of eroticism through sculptures on the temple walls. These ancient temples have defeated the otherwise contemporary and orthodox
views of sexual love in Indian culture. Khajuraho is a cultural hotspot that houses remnants of the glorious rule of the Chandela dynasty
