Khajurâho

 A visit to Khajuraho is far from being reserved for specialists in art and architecture; the site's unparalleled charm makes it accessible to everyone. This archaeological site is renowned for its erotic sculptures of great beauty. At the top of the shikharas crowning the sanctuaries, you will find yourself at the heart of a profusion of bas-reliefs, where religiosity and sensuality intermingle. The temples of Khajuraho owe to the erotic sculptures adorning their walls a renown that has long since spread beyond India's borders. You will see the finest examples of classical North Indian architecture: temples of perfect proportions crowned with graceful shikhara, resting on a platform that seems to offer the sanctuaries up to the admiration of onlookers. And as you draw closer to the noble facades, you discover that they are covered in a graceful world carved from soft sandstone — a world of dancers, courtesans, richly adorned gods and kings, a sculpted world in which the erotic figures are, in fact, the most anecdotal part.
