Khajuraho is a World Heritage Site, and its rise to prominence on the world
tourism map is a romantic story. Built by the warrior king of the Chandela dynasty
during the 10th-11th century, the Khajuraho temples emerged from the mist of
time in 1838 when they were discovered by a British officer. The Indian government
and private sector have developed tourist infrastructure around the 22 surviving
temples for the thousands of tourists who visit the tiny Khajuraho village and
are fascinated by the intricate and lifelike carvings on temple walls. Though
the temples of Khajuraho are best known for their erotic scenes, these form
a very small percentage of the exquisite panels of sculptures on the walls of
the temples and the majority of these depict scenes of daily life in India ten
centuries ago. Besides the temples, Khajuraho offers a number of interesting
excursions - Panna National Park, Ken wildlife sanctuary and a number of enchanting
waterfalls.
