History Of Khajuraho Temples

Explore the historic Khajuraho temples with Priyanka Resort

Indian temples have been more than a religious place. They showcase our rich cultural heritage, our belief system which is often expressed through our dance, music, architecture and paintings.

Temples Of Khajuraho

One such celebration of architectural brilliance is the Khajuraho temples in Madhya Pradesh. The temples were marked as a World Heritage Site, in 1986, by UNESCO. These magnificent temples are visited by tourists all over the world for their own reasons. Some visit for their passion of art, some for intricate architecture, some for dance postures, and some for devotion. Despite all this, the Khajuraho temples charms everybody with their stunning engraved structures which tell the story of the master artisans.

History of Chandel

These architectural beauties were built by the Chandela Dynasty who were known for their keen interest in art and architecture. There were 85 temples built between 950 and 1050 CE however with phases of destruction, only 20 survived today. One can find a combination of Hindu and Jain gods in these temples as the Chandela rulers were believers of both religions. Hence you can find temples of lord Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti and also some grand Jain temples.
Often taking a walk inside the temple complex, one gets transported to those glorious years of past. It gives a great feeling of spirituality and artistic satisfaction to the visitors.
