The Khajuraho Temples are a group of Hindu and Jain temples built between the 10th and 11th centuries and are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These temples are architectural marvels that showcase the high point of medieval Indian temple architecture. What makes Khajuraho unique is the sophisticated sculptural program decorating the temples. The intricate stone carvings depict various aspects of human life including divine narratives, scenes of daily life, and artistic expressions of human emotions and relationships. The temples are built without mortar, using precisely cut stones fitted together with remarkable accuracy. The engineering and artistic mastery displayed is breathtaking. The serene setting among lush green fields adds to the spiritual and aesthetic appeal of these sacred structures.
