Good to know things about Khajuraho Temple

Architectural Splendor

Khajuraho Temples are famous for its superb Nagara-style architecture, which has finely carved spires and ornate sculptures. The temples are organised into three sections: Western, Eastern, and Southern, with each section featuring temples dedicated to Hindu deities such as Vishnu and Shiva. The artistic and architectural features demonstrate the Chandela dynasty's high level of craftsmanship.

Erotic Sculptures

While the temples are largely dedicated to different deities, what distinguishes Khajuraho is its frank representation of human sexuality through exquisite sculptures. Erotic art is present on a small fraction of the sculptures and is thought to be a celebration of human love and the quest of pleasure. These sculptures are thought to represent the balance between the physical and spiritual components of existence.

Symbolism and Mythology

The Khajuraho sculptures reflect different aspects of Hindu mythology, including events from epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The elaborate carvings tell stories about gods, goddesses, heavenly beings, and ordinary life in India throughout the mediaeval period. Numerous legendary characters and celestial entities can also be found in the temples.

Kandariya Mahadeva Temple

The Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is one of Khajuraho's largest and most magnificent temples. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is embellished with beautiful carvings of deities, heavenly maidens (apsaras), and numerous legendary creatures. The temple's main shrine holds a Shiva Linga (an abstract image of Lord Shiva), and the temple is a tribute to the Chandela dynasty's architectural and creative prowess.
