Car Rental in Khajuraho

Khajuraho is the Capital city of Madhya Pradesh, Central India Zone. Khajuraho is also known for etoric sculptures and group of temples. Each temple stands on a high platform and the customary enclosure is absent. The temples are in three groups - in an area of about eight square miles.

Temples of Khajuraho present a unique art and sculpture. They have engraved in them the figures of gods and goddesses, celestial nymphs and handmaidens bold serpents and leonine beasts and myriads of women. 'Mithuna' couples have accorded Khajuraho a distinctive status. At the centre of each temple there is the statue of an honored god.

Khajuraho is a famous place and visited by thousands of visitors every year from far and abroad.

Khajuraho Tourist Attractions

Western Group of Temples
A compound wall encircles this group of temples and near the entrance is a ticket counter. Within the enclosure there are several large and small shrines, and each can be seen individually. To the left of the entrance is a path that takes you up to the Lakshmana Temple, a grand edifice that stands, like all the other temples of the group, on a high platform. In front of it are two open pavilions or mandaps. The one furthest to the south is the Varaha Mandap with a gigantic monolithic image of a standing Varaha, the boar incarnation of Vishnu, the preserver who rescued the earth from the primeval floods. The entire body of the divine creature is carved in low relief with the figures of more than 600 or more gods and goddess of the Hindu pantheon. Besides the Varaha Mandap is a reconstructed Devi Mandap which once contained an image.

Eastern Group of Temples
A kilometer to the east is the Eastern Group which comprises two historic Jain temples along with other rebuilt shrines maintained by the Jain community. There is one small temple located to the south-east, near the airport, called Chaturbhuj, with a wonderful 2.7 meter image within the sanctum. To the south-west of the Western Group (along a not very congenial pathway) is the Chausat Yogini Shrine dedicated to the sixty-four yoginis or manifestations of the Mother goddess. Raised on a mammoth platform is an open courtyard surrounded by miniature shrines fro the 64 manifestations of the goddess, it is considered to be the oldest (ninth century) monument at Khajuraho.
