Overview
The Khajuraho Group of Monuments is a group of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain temples in Madhya
Pradesh, India, about 175 kilometres (109 mi) southeast of Jhansi. They are one of the
UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India. The temples are famous for their nagara-style
architectural symbolism and their erotic sculptures.
The Khajuraho group of temples were built together but were dedicated to two religions,
Hinduism and Jainism, suggesting a tradition of acceptance and respect for diverse religious
views among Hindus and Jains in the region.
