Chandela Kings

The Chandela Kings were a dynasty that ruled parts of northern India, particularly the Bundelkhand region, from the 9th to the 12th centuries. They are best known for their notable contributions to architecture, especially the construction of the famous Khajuraho temples, which are renowned for their intricate sculptures and intricate erotic carvings. The Chandela rulers were patrons of art and culture, and their reign is marked by a blend of Hindu and Jain influences. The dynasty eventually declined due to internal strife and external invasions, but their architectural legacy remains a UNESCO World Heritage site.
