Khajuraho: Private Kamasutra Temples Day Tour with Lunch

8:00 AM - Pickup from the hotel lobby.

We start after breakfast to visit the Hindu Temple of Javari, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located on a high pedestal, this temple boasts of artistic interiors as well as exteriors. The exquisite carvings and the sculptures are magnificent.

Chausath Yogini Temple: Yogini is the term given to a female who practices yoga or a spiritual teacher of the Hindu. The temple has 64 different shrines for one yogini each. The central shrine is the largest and has a huge idol of Lord Shiva with his consort Goddess Parvati on Nandi the bull. The temple was made mostly of granite. Each yogini statue has a different posture from the other and is all exquisitely carved.

Kandariya Mahadev Temple was designed and built by the Chandela King Vidyadhara in the early 11th century. It was after Gazni Mahmud had invaded this region and destroyed it. The main attraction in the entrance area is a sacred Makara Torana that is simply eye-catching. The interior of the temple has intricately designed hallways, while the main hall has the prime deity of Lord Siva in the form of a linga. There is a lovely painting of a four-footed incarnation of Lord Shiva called Chatuspada.

Lakshmana Temple was built by the great Chandela ruler, King Yashovarman in the 10th century. The main idol here is of Lord Vaikuntha. This idol has three heads and four arms. This fantastic stone sculpture is accompanied by Narasimha the lion avatar and Varaha the boar avatar of the deity. The other attractive features are the statues of beautiful women with their partners in love.

Dulhadev Temple Lord Shiva is depicted as a bridegroom here and thus the name ‘dulha’ turns into 'dhuladeo' here. This was the last temple built in the whole group just on the banks of the Khodar River. This temple has the shape of a ‘saptadhara’ or a chariot driven by seven horses.

4:00 PM - Drop-off back at the hotel.
