khajuraho india monuments, monuments of khajuraho india,

Khajuraho was, for many centuries, a small obscure village in central India; in 1838 a British army engineer, captain T S Burt, visited the area and rediscovered an extraordinary group of temples built between the 10th and 12th centuries. Khajuraho is situated in Madhya Pradesh, south of the gangetic plain and north of the rising Deccan plateau. The expansive landscape of the state is cradled by the Vindhya and Satpura hill ranges and watered by large rivers, the Narmada and Chambal.

The large Lakshmana temple, is dedicated to lord Vishnu. Its design is similar to that of the Kandariya Mahadeva temple. It is one of the well-preserved temples. Around the shrine, there are two rather than three bands of sculptures. There are some very good sculptures of Apsaras (nymphs) and erotic scenes. Around the base of the temple, there is a continuous strip with scenes of battle, hunting and processions. Facing the large Lakshmana temple there are two small shrines - Lakshmi and Varaha temples. The Varaha Temple is dedicated to Vishnu's boar incarnation or the Varaha Avtar. Inside this small shrine there is a huge, solid figure of the boar. Walking around the enclosure we see another small shrine Parvati temple. It has an image of Ganga riding over the back of a crocodile.
