ancient monument has a fascinating story to tell. But few
match the mystery wrapped around the temples of Khajuraho
in central India.
Once the capital of the great Chandela Kings,
Khajuraho today is a quiet village of a few thousand people
.It is also the setting of the Khajuraho Festival of Dances
which draws the best classical dancers in the country every
year, who perform against the spectacular backdrop of the
floodlit temples.
With international status under the Government
of India programme categories, this seven-day extravaganza
is a unique treat for connoisseurs from all over the world.
