Afternoon: Visit Eastern & Western Temples.<br />
Khajuraho was the capital of the Chandela kings and<br />
its temples were built in the short span of hundred<br />
years, from 950-1050 AD. Most of them were<br />
destroyed by Muslim invaders. Adorned with<br />
exquisite sculpture, only 22 temples remain of the<br />
original 85. <strong>The</strong>y are the strange works of a long<br />
dead people. Khajuraho’s temples are <strong>co</strong>vered with<br />
hundreds of sculptured figures – a galaxy of gods<br />
and goddesses, beasts and serpents, and a multitude<br />
of erotic <strong>co</strong>uples which represent a paean to life, to<br />
love and to joy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most famous are the Kandariya Mahadev, the Chaturbhuj, the Paraswanath and the<br />
Ghantai – the summit of Hindu sculpture: voluptuous forms; human and divine, throbbing<br />
with life and sublime in expression. Overnight at Hotel.
