Khajuraho Group of Monuments, Hindu and Jain temple complex in Chhatarpur, India
The Khajuraho monuments include 25 preserved temples built with sandstone, featuring Nagara architectural style and detailed sculptures across 6 square kilometers.
The Chandela dynasty constructed the temples between 950 and 1050 CE, creating a collection of 85 structures that remained hidden until British explorer T.S. Burt discovered them in 1838.
The temples combine Hindu and Jain religious elements through their sculptures, depicting daily activities, mythology, philosophy, and social customs of medieval Indian society.
Visitors can access the site through Khajuraho Airport, located 5 kilometers from the complex, with entry fees of 30 rupees for Indian citizens and 500 rupees for international tourists.
The Kandariya Mahadeva Temple contains the largest number of sculptures among all structures, reaching 872 statues distributed across multiple levels.
