Khajuraho has always remained tucked away form the mainstream events of history. This is probably why the famed temples escaped the ravage of invaders. Chandela Dynasty, built these temples originally numbering no fewer than 85 during 950 AD to 1050 AD.
Today only 22 temples, in a good state of preservation, survive. The sculptures, considered to be the most perfect figures achieved in stone, depict gods and goddesses and amorous couples.
