About Khajuraho

Khajuraho's temples were built by the Chandela dynasty, mostly between the 10th and 12th centuries, and are celebrated for their finely sculpted stonework. The surviving group is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Carvings cover daily life, music, dance and the human form, and the temples stand in manicured gardens in a small town in central India.

TravelDaddy verdictSmall town, big sculpture, an easy one-night highlight.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
