Summary edit

Description
English: This is the photograph of Kandariya Mahadeva Temple situated at Western group of Temples, Khajuraho. View of this kind is very rare to find in Khajuraho works.

One thousand years ago, under the generous and artistic patronage of the Chandela Rajput Kings 85 temples, magnificient in form and richly carved, came up on one side near the village of Khajuraho.

An amazingly short span of 100 years, from 950 A.D. - 1050 A.D. saw the completion of all the temples in an inspired burst of creativity.

Today out of original 85, only 22 have survived the ravages of time. These remain as a collective pean to life, to joy, to creativity and to the ultimate fusion of man with the creator.
