Khajuraho – Explore the Sensual Form of Love

Nobody other than the Indian artisans has ever dared to portray eroticism as a distinguished form of love. Located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, the Khajuraho Group of Monuments is indeed a bold masterstroke on the otherwise traditional canvas of India. Carved on stones are the lovemaking couples engaged in Kamasutra for the sole purpose of pleasure, something depicted artistically and exquisitely without a hint of vulgarity. Being there on a bright sunny day of February can be your best travel bet in India.

History, Architecture and Spirituality
Built between 950 and 1150, these are Hindu and Jain temples that boast of outstanding architectural magnificence. Standing midst lush green lawns and enjoying the backdrop of Vindhya Range, these sandstone wonders promise your moments of seclusion from the chaotic world. Temples in the Western, Eastern and Southern divisions are dedicated to various Hindu deities and their exteriors exhibit enthralling sculptures in different categories.

Light & Sound Show
If the visual delight of exploring the flawless stone art is not enough, the entertaining light and sound show in the evening can certainly extend the feast. Organized in Hindi and English, the show elaborates on the art and history of these time-honoured structures. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the marvellous sight of glittering edifices while enjoying the show.

Khajuraho Dance Festival

February brings another great reason to choose Khajuraho as your travel destination. The world-renowned Khajuraho Dance Festival celebrates the spectacular Indian classical dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Manipuri and many more. Scheduled from February 20-26 this year, the festival is going to witness performances from the internationally acclaimed artists. Ticket counters will be set up near the temples and one ticket for a night would cost around INR 300.
