These temples, built between 950-1050 AD by the Chandela Dynasty, showcase some of the most revered Gods of Hinduism and Jainism. After the decline of the Chandela dynasty, the temples were left under the cover of dense Date palm trees for many years. This gave the city of Khajuraho its name. Khajur in Hindi means a DATE.
The temples are categorised into three groups: Eastern, Western and Southern based on their geographical location. The sculptures of the Khajuraho temples will leave you amazed.
