In the 10th Century, the remote village of Khajuraho was the center of the thriving civilization of the Chandelas. In the 19th century, British archeologists excavated a group of temples here. One of them, flying a red flag, is still an active Hindu temple. The opposing diagonals of the flag and its staff add a dynamic jolt of energy to the ornate carvings that cover the ancient temples. A blend of past and present, this image underscores the continuity of Hindu beliefs.
