Day 2
Khajuraho sightseeing
Have scrumptious breakfast and proceed on for visiting famous monuments, the western and eastern groups
of Khajuraho temples. Khajuraho, a major tourist destination in India, is famous for its complex of temples
covered with finely carved sculptures. Its erotic statues particularly appeal to visitors. Khajuraho is now
a tourist town, with all modern amenities like hotels, restaurants and shops. Khajuraho was formerly capital
of Chandela kings and they built during 950 AD to 1050 AD fascinating temples, the jewel of Hindu architecture.
Among the prominent temples are Laxman Temple, Kandariya Mahadev Temple and Devi Jagadamba Temple.
The Lakshmana Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is one of the most finely decorated with almost
statues & sculptures of 600 gods, nymphs, apsaras, etc on the walls. This temple is famous for its erotic
statuettes on the south side of the building. These are actually a tiny portion of the decoration.
The Kandarîya Mahadeo Temple is the most important among the temples, both in its size & ornamentation
with its 900 statues carved in yellow sandstone. Kandaria Mahadev Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devi
Jagadamba Temple is one of the most finely decorated, especially with many erotic scenes. Although featuring
a large statue of a goddess, it was probably once devoted to Lord Vishnu. After sightseeing, post-lunch,
the day has been kept free for you to spend time in leisure.
