About
Khajuraho's temples were built by the Chandela dynasty between the 9th and 11th centuries — a flowering of artistic ambition that produced some of the finest stone sculpture anywhere in the medieval world. Of the original 85 temples, 25 survive, and the Western Group in particular is among the most remarkable things to see in India: Nagara-style towers rising from carved plinths, every surface covered in figures — celestial beings, warriors, lovers, and the erotic sculptures that have made Khajuraho famous. The eroticism represents only a fraction of the carving; the larger message is the full range of human experience rendered in stone with an extraordinary economy of line and depth.
