Khajuraho

Khajuraho, former capital of the old kingdom of Jajhauti, was the capital of the Chandela Rajputs who claimed descent from the moon. The Chandelas were a strong regional power in the area in the 10th century. They built a series of forts and of course, the splendid temples of Khajuraho. The name may come from the numerous date palms found here or, as another legend has it, because there were a pair of golden date palms on the gates of the complex. There were 85 temples originally of which only 20 survive. They were all built between 950 and 1050 AD in one inspired burst of building and then were lost for almost 800 years.
