Khajuraho (Temples of Chandela)

The Khajuraho Temples, built by the Chandela dynasty between 950 and 1050 CE in India, are renowned for their stunning architecture and intricate carvings. These Hindu and Jain temples are famous for their detailed sculptures depicting gods, mythological scenes, and everyday life, reflecting spiritual, cultural, and artistic traditions. The temples are also notable for their harmonious design, with elaborate towers (shikharas) and sensually explicit carvings that symbolize the connection between physical and spiritual realms. Today, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for their artistic mastery and historical significance.
