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.

Southern Group of Temples, Khajuraho

 

Southern Group Temples, Khajuraho

 

There are only two temples in this group. The first one Duladeo temple, is a major attraction of Khajuraho while the second, the Chaturbhuja temple is small and about 2 kms from the first. The Duladeo temple was built on the traditional 5-part design. It looks flatter and more massive than the typical Khajuraho shrines. It appears to be of a later period when Khajuraho temple art had passed its peak. The sculptures are now wooden and stereotyped. The decorations are still very graceful - particularly the bracket capitals inside and the flying wizards on the highest carved band outside. The Chaturbhuja temple has an attractive collonnaded entrance. This ruined temple has a very fine and large image of Vishnu - three metres high. The present day village of Khajuraho is a cluster of hotels, restaurants, shops and stalls around the bus station. Even the airport is at a walkiing distance. The western temple complex is also in this area and the other temples are not far away and easily accessible. Khajuraho is a nice place to linger on and have an interesting time. Small statues of gods and charming couples can also be purchased from the stalls at unbelievably low prices.
