Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh is a well visited tourist center. This village houses several temples from the 9th through the 13th centuries, built in the Indo Aryan Nagara style of architecture, embellished with a profusion of sculptural work. Around the temples are bands of fine work, depicting several aspects of life, over a 1000 years ago, portraying gods, goddesses, musicians, animals, etc. Erotic sculptures featuring Apsaras and mithunas (couples) also dominate the themes portrayed here.
Khajuraho is virtually in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately it is served by air from major cities. It is a a distance of 280 km from Gwalior, and 175 km from Jhansi and 120 km from Satna, all three being major railheads.
