aspects of Indian
life a thousand
years ago during
the Chandela
period. After
the Taj it is
the most frequently
visited monument
in
India. Khajuraho
is a unique
example of indo-aryan
architecture.
The Chandela
rulers between
950-1050 built
these temples.
There were 85
temples, which
were built,
and only 22
of them survive
today. Unlike
other temples
Khajuraho temples
are said to
have a theme
(women), which
comes in front
while going
through the
temples. A celebration
of woman kind,
her myriad moods
and facets.
There are carvings
of a woman writing
letter, applying
makeup to her
eyes, combing
her tresses,
dancing, and
playing with
her child. Innocent,
coquettish,
smiling, seductive,
passionate and
beautiful, all
depicted in
intricate detail,
sharply etched,
sculpted with
consummate skill.
One opinion
says Chandelas
were followers
of the tantric
cult, which
believes that
gratification
of earthly desires
is a step towards
attaining the
infinite liberation,
nirvana. For
many centuries
these temples
were concealed
in the dense
jungles to be
discovered by
captain T.S.
Burt in 1838.
