Tourist Spots in Khajurao

Tourist Spot in Khajurao:

  1. Chaunsat Yogini is the oldest of the surviving temples of Khajuraho. It is dedicated to goddesses Kali and is the only temple that is built in granite.
  2. The Kandariya Mahadeo is considered the most evolved example of central Indian temple architecture. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is the largest of Khajuraho’s temples.
  3. The Lakshmana Temple is one of the oldest and finest of the western group of temples. Themes recurring in the sculptures are battle, hunting, and women.
  4. The temple of Vishvanath and Nandi celebrates the marriage of Lord Shiva with Parvati. The sculptures are dominated by women in various attitudes of life like fondling babies and writing letters.
  5. The temple of Devi Jagdamba is considered to be one of the most erotic temples of Khajuraho by many. It has the most talked-about image, mithuna, and the sensuously carved figures.
