Khajuraho – Apr. 13th

Khajuraho is famous for its temples which were built during the Chandela dynasty around AD 950 to 1050.  Originally there were 85 temples, but only 25 now remain.  The temples were eventually abandoned and fell into disrepair, but luckily, due to the isolated location, they weren’t destroyed like many other temples were when the Muslim invaded.  The temples weren’t rediscovered until 1838.  Today they are considered a highlight of India due to their intricate carving, some of which depict erotic scenes.
