Khajuraho

When we arrived at our hotel in Khajuraho we felt we had arrived in Paradise. Lush greenery, no pollution, very little traffic... ahhhhh Paradise. After an awesome sunset, the fog that is prevalent in India during the winter months, was present again the next morning. The temples at Khajuraho were built over 200 years from the 10th through the 12th century. There are numerous tantric sex carvings depicted on many of the temples. I've included just a few of them. Warn the kids!!
