Khajuraho Travel Packages
In the temple architecture of India, the Khajuraho complex remains unique. One
thousand years ago, under the generous and artistic patronage of the Chandela
Rajput kings of Central India, 85 temples, magnificent in form and richly
carved, came up on one site, near the village of Khajuraho.
The amazingly short span of 100 years, from 950 AD - 1050 AD, saw the completion
of all the temples, in an inspired burst of creativity. Today, of the original
85, only 22 have survived the ravages of time; these remain as a collective
paean to life, to joy and to creativity; to the ultimate fusion of man with
his creator.

The creators of Khajuraho claimed descent from the moon. The legend that describes
the origin of this great dynasty is a fascinating one: Hemavati, the beautiful
young daughter of a Brahmin priest was seduced by the moon god while bathing
in the Rati one evening. The child born of this union between a mortal and
a god was a son, Chandravarman. Harassed by society, the unwed mother sought
refuge in the dense forest of Central India where she was both mother and
guru to her young son. The boy grew up to found the great Chandela dynasty.
When he was established as a ruler, he had a dream-visitation from his mother,
who implored him to build temples that would reveal human passions, and in
doing so bring about a realization of the emptiness of human desire. Chandravarman
began the construction of the first of the temples, successive rulers added
to the fast growing complex.
