Khajuraho-
Temple of Love
Khajuraho
invokes the mind, Fires the
imagination. Hundreds of miles
from civilization, deep
in the hinterlands of central
India where the tiger still
has its own domain and where the
depths of the forests
hold their own secrets are a small
clearing. Here: a village,
modest by any standards; a tank,
ambitiously called a
lake; groups of ancient temples,
some in ruins.
For most people, Khajuraho
continues to remain an
enigma, a quest in the arena of
world art.
Located
in the provincial state of Madhya Pradesh India.,
Khajuraho is known the world over
for its temples, sex, architecture and sculpture.
The construction of these Temples
are thousand-year old took a little over two
centuries, in terms of
architecture of these temples, they form the high
peak of the north Indian 'nagara'
style. Of the 85
temples believed to have been
built between the 9th
and 12th centuries only 20 have
survived, many in
splendid condition, others having
given way to the
ravages of time and nature.
