Best 3 Days 2 Nights Khajuraho Holiday Package

Today, we will pick you up from Gwalior Railway station/Airport and drive to Khajuraho. The architectural style of the Khajuraho temples is very different from the temple prototype of that period. Each stands, instead of within the customary enclosure, on a high masonry platform. Combined with the upward direction of the structure, which is further accentuated by vertical projections, the total effect is one of grace and lightness, reminiscent of the Himalayan peaks. Each of the chief compartments has its own roof, grouped in such a way that the highest is in the centre, the lowest over the portico, a triumph of skill and imagination in recreating the rising peaks of a range. The temples of Khajuraho are divided into three geographical groups: Western, Eastern and Southern. Overnight at the hotel.

Today after breakfast, visit various temples in Khajuraho. Some of themare as below: Chitragupta Temple - This temple is dedicated to the Sun God (Surya Dev). It faces towards east or the rising sun and the imposing image of the image of the deity in the inner sanctum is as high as five feet and is shown driving a horse-drawn chariot. It is in front of this temple and the Vishwanatha temple that most of the dance performances take place during the Khajuraho Dance Festival. Vishwanatha Temple - This temple has impressive entrances with magnificent stone guarding its northern steps and royal masonry elephants taking care of the southern steps. The three-headed image of Lord Brahma in the temple is not less captivating. Lakshmana Temple - A pretty Vaishnava temple flaunts a lintel over its entrance depicting the divine trinity of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva along with Goddess Lakshmi, the wife of Lord Vishnu. Matangeshwara Temple - Situated outside the premises of Western group of temples, this Lord Shiva\\\\\\\'s temple is known for the daunting eight-feet high lingam (male organ representing the natural process of reproduction and the continuity of human life form) that it enshrines. Parsvanatha Temple- The largest Jain temple of the Eastern group, Parsvanath temple has intricate stone carvings, especially, the sculptures on the northern outer wall of the temple are certainly praiseworthy. It enshrines a throne facing the bull emblem that represents the first tirthankara, Adinatha. Ghantai Temple-This Jain temple has remarkable frescos depicting the 16 dreams of the mother of LordMahavira at the time of his birth and a Jain goddess mounted on a winged Garuda Adinatha Temple- This temple is richly ornamented with delicate and pretty scultures including those of yakshis. It is dedicated to the first Jain tirthankara (saint), Adinath.Most of the temple here belong to Jain faith but there are three Hindu temples of the group, namely, the Brahma temple enshrining a four-faced linga; the Vamana temple with divine carvings of sensuous celestial maidens in various poses adorning its outer walls and the Javari temple with a opulently carved doorway and ostentatious sculptures on its exteriors. Duladeo Temple- This Shaiva temple is known for flaunting the striking images of the celestial maidens or apsaras and richly ornamented figures Chaturbhuja Temple- It is the huge imposing intricately carved image of Lord Vishnu in the temple\\\\\\\'s sanctum, which is the chief attraction of the temple.

Yet another theory is that the erotica of Khajuraho, and indeed of other temples, had a specific purpose. In those days when boys lived in hermitages, following the Hindu law of being brahmacharis until they attainedmanhood, the only way they could prepare themselves for the worldly role of house holder was through the study of these sculptures and the earthly passions they depicted.Today after breakfast, check out of the resort and drive to Gwalior Railway station/Airport for your onwards journey with mesmerizing memories with us.
