Khajuraho India

Khajuraho has the largest group of medieval Hindu and Jain temples, famous for their erotic sculpture. The Khajuraho group of monuments has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is considered to be one of the “seven wonders” of India.

This was our favorite place that we visited in India. It was so nice to escape the chaos of the larger cities. Khajuraho is just a small farming village. There was no traffic on the streets. Which is such not the norm in India. You can never escape traffic. This is the town you want to spend some time in on a trip to India. I was actually able to go for a run in this city without being bothered or trying to dodge people and cars.

The temples were so amazing. Stephanie and I have been having a blast shooting pictures.

These temples are known for their sexual carvings also. Which is interesting in such a conservative country.
