KHAJURAHO - A World Heritage Site:
The temples of Khajuraho are India's unique gift to the world, representing a paean to life, love and joy. Perfect in execution and sublime in expression. Life, in every form and mood, has been captured at Khajuraho in stone, testifying to the craftsman's artistry and the extraordinary breadth of vision of the Chandela kings. The Khajuraho temples were built in the short span of a hundred years, between 950-1050 AD, in a truly inspired burst of creativity. Of the 85 original temples, 22 still survive, constituting one of the world's greatest artistic wonders. An ultimate tribute to the essence of Creation itself? The spectacularly mounted Khajuraho Sonet-Lumiere Show evokes the life and times of the great Chandela Rajputs and traces the fascinating story of the unique temples from the 10th to the 20th century.
Khajuraho Dance Festival:
The Khajuraho Festival of Dances draws the best classical dancers in India who perform against the spectacular backdrop of the floodlit temples every year in February/March. The next Khajuraho Dance Festival is scheduled from 20-26 February 2014.
