The group of monuments of Khajuraho has been included in the UNESCO world heritage. The village of Khajuraho is situated in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The village lies to the southeast of Delhi. We started our journey from Dellhi, from Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station you can reach Khajuraho early in the morning 7:00am by “UP Sampark Kranti 12448-Slip” (running only Tue, Fri and Sun and slipped from Mahoba with One 3AC, One IInd Sleeper and two General Coach). Road condition is very pathetic bus journey not advisable to reach Khajuraho.


The hotels and the local tourist vehicles are easily available, people are villagers and their main business is depend upon tourism only, you can have food at Raja café the best restaurant opposite to western temples. Khajuraho is the name which results from the Hindi word called "Khajur" meaning Date Palm.The village of Khajuraho is elevated at an average height of 283m above the sea level. The Khajuraho is typically a cultural type of village. As per the 2001 India census the population of Khajuraho was 19,282. Tropical type of climate is mainly observed.

Khajuraho is a well renowned for its erotic sculptures : Its reflect the behaviour needed in front of the divinities. Khajuraho is also famous for its temples. Majority of the temples in Khajuraho are mainly Jain and Hindu temples. The Khajuraho temples show a very distinct style of architecture. Indian temple architecture is broadly divided into two distinct styles – the Nagari or the north Indian and Dravida or the south Indian. Most of the temples present were built over a period of 250 yrs. during the rule of the Chandela dynasty are at the pinnacle of the Nagari architectural style; mostly built in fine-grained buff, pink and pale yellow sandstone. Most of the Khajuraho temples are aligned east to west with their entrance facing east. 


Lakshmana Temple this temples was constructed by Vidyadhara, who is arguably one of the greatest kings of Chandela. The temple is the largest of the Western group of temples. This temple was built approx. in 1000BC. The shikhara or main spire has a height of 31 meters. It is said to depict Mount Meru, which is the holy mountain of Lord Shiva. The main spire is surrounded by 84 miniature spires. Inside the temple one can find the Shiva linga (symbol of Lord Shiva), that is made of marble.



Kandariya Mahadeva temple is of immense religious importance and ranks to be one of , largest Hindu temple throughout, medieval period. It is one of  ancient monuments which is undamaged till date. The temple of Hemavati was build after a young woman named Hemavati after whom the Khajuraho temples have been constructed. The temple is a must see for every visitor because of its marvelous carvings and sculptures inside the temple.
The Adinath Temple is the last of the Jain temples and is dedicated to Adinatha, the Jain saint. It is decorated with sculptures of Yakshis.


BEHIND THE EVERY STATUE THEIR IS A KNOWLEDGE, BUT U HAVE TO IMAGINE FROM TIME PERIOD, ITS WORKERS WHO MADE IT, ITS IDEA IN A REAL LIVING creatures.
 "Twisting, broad-hipped and high breasted nymphs display their generously contoured and bejewelled bodies on exquisitely worked exterior wall panels. These fleshy apsaras run riot across the surface of the stone, putting on make-up, washing their hair, playing games, dancing, and endlessly knotting and unknotting their girdles....Beside the heavenly nymphs are serried ranks of griffins, guardian deities and, most notoriously, extravagantly interlocked maithunas, or lovemaking couples."
Though a woman is reserved, and keeps her feelings concealed; when she gets on the top of a man, she shows all her love and desire. A man should gather from the actions of the woman of what disposition she is, and in what way she likes to be enjoyed.Such passionate actions and amorous gesticulations or movements, which arise on the spur of the moment, and during sexual intercourse, cannot be defined, and are as irregular as dreams.

Praised be the three aims of life, virtue (dharma), prosperity (artha), and love (kama), which are the subject of this work. Kama is to be learnt from the Kamasutra (aphorisms on love) and from the practice of citizens.
Kama is the enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five senses of hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and smelling, assisted by the mind together with the soul.The ingredient in this is a peculiar contact between the organ of sense and its object, and the consciousness of pleasure which arises from that contact is called Kama.
Many people have poor sexual relationships founded on harmful myths and customs, clearly knowing the truth about  diverse, sexual evolution  was  important after visiting the KHAJURAHO.
