FOR DESTIVNATIONS IN INDIA.


The Enigma of Khajuraho
From the Erotic to the Sublime

From marble rocks to magnificent forts to the spine-tingling Chambal
ravines to the myriad dense wildlife sanctuaries, waterfalls and hill
stations, the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has something to
suit every traveller's taste.
But one thing that really stands out as one of the biggest
attractions of this state are the enigmatic temples of Khajuraho.
With a peculiar architecture and erotic art, their unique appeal
comes to life in February or March in the form of stunning dance
performances with the flood lit temples providing a spectacular
backdrop. Known to the world as the Khajuraho Festival of Dances, they
are, for visitors and tourists, a diary full of kaleidoscopic memories
to be cherished for a long time after they have returned to their
homes.
It is said that a picture can speak a thousand words but one visit
to Khajuraho is worth a thousand pictures.
It is a bit of a paradox that Khajuraho, which seems ages away from
New Delhi by road isn't much of a journey by air. For starters, just
when you unfasten your seat belts, you have to fasten them again as
the flight seems to spend time mostly in takeoff and landing. Quite a
contrast from the near 12 hours road journey through the stark, if
somewhat nervous Chambal ravines (once notorious for its dreaded
dacoits). But then it is this bleakly beautiful remoteness that lends
a special charm to Khajuraho.
For a remote offbeat locale, the road from the airport, like most
others in Khajuraho, is well maintained and tree lined, with a small
market that leaves you wondering if the local population lives only on
handicrafts. A bigger question, however, is where the local population
actually resides! So isolated is this part of the region that one does
not spot any residential areas for miles.
