Archaeological Museum Khajuraho

The Archaeological Museum in Khajuraho is a conscious effort to preserve great efforts of architectural craftsmanship & sculptural finesse of the Khajuraho temples. Architecturally, these temples were built in the Nagara style of northern India. The delicate techniques of the sculptors and their imagination have shaped human emotions in the representations of spiritual and physical love. Spread over the high forest plateau of the region, these temples were discovered only a few decades ago. It is this isolation and the encroachment of the forest that has led to the destruction of most of them. Built over a period of 200 years, the plan of the temples from the simplest to the most sublime, follows the same pattern, and all have been abundantly and very richly carved.
