What travellers say about Khajuraho
吃苹果的麻雀呀December 26, 2020
4.0
The Khajuraho temple complex is located in northeastern India, covering an area of 21 square kilometers. It is divided into two large areas, east and west, with a total of 85 temples. Perhaps because it is remote and has been spared from the ravages of conquerors, more than 20 temples in the complex are still well preserved.

5.0
The walls of the temples are densely packed with exquisite sculptures, including Lord Shiva, military chariots, cows, horses, elephants and dogs. These stone sculptures have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, and are still lifelike and exquisite, especially those plump and charming female sculptures, which make people want to take a few more glances. The flying goddess Apsara in Angkor Wat in Cambodia was probably introduced from here. The tour guides in the scenic area are very skilled in finding sculptures of men and women in strange poses among the dazzling group sculptures on the more than 20 temples that have survived in the world, which makes people blush with surprise and laughter.
