950 to 1050 AD. Almost intriguing as the sheet beauty and the size of the
temples is the question of why and how they were built here as Khajuraho
is isolated, 1000 years ago as it is even today. The temples are superb
examples of Indo-Aryan architecture and depict images of gods and goddesses,
warriors and musicians, real and mythological animals and in great detail
- women and sex.

a few thousand people in the interiors of central India, in Chhatarpur

have survived. The temples at Khajuraho, brilliant examples of medieval
