| Description |
Enormous Gracious and Fascinating images of varied categories have been lavishly chiseled both on the interior and exterior walls of huge Mountain-like temples of Khajuraho!! ☝
The walls of the temples are so profusely sculptured that the entire construction, for a while, appears to be a single heavily carved, piece. No space on the walls of some of the temples has been left without significant sculptures. One can count as many as 872 Hindu Gods / Goddesses of 2½ ft - 3 ft in height on the walls of each of the 22 preserved temples! Chisels of the finest Craftsman have created a rhythmic movement through varied activities, further accentuating the Feminine grace |
