    REVISITING KHAJURAHA* BHASKAR PHOTOGRAPHY

    It was the third time I went to Khajuraha (yes it is


    Khajuraha not Khajuraho) till now its not kind of a
    tour I wanted

    Why?

    because I always wanted to stay there for a long time


    one day for a Temple because there are so many
    theories about the history of that place so maybe in
    some other Blog i will discuss about the history of
    Khajuraha .

    for now enjoy the photos


    All the erotic sculptures(The reference of these
    sculpture maybe taken from Vatasyayan Kamasutra)
    are at the outer walls of the temples. inside most of
    the temples there is nothing- just silence, a cool
    peaceful milieu, with the vibes of thousands of years
    of people meditating.
    This UNESCO World Heritage site is far from being a
    petty representation of the Kama Sutra. The temples
    here, in fact, illustrate the idea of life that engaged
    aesthetic objects to create something inspirational
    Thousands of artisans worked on
    stones and they created the most
    beautiful figures on the temples.
    Khajuraho statues of stones
    speak, sing, dance which seems
    to be alive and coming out of
    temple walls.

    Sculpture of Ganesha
    This is the latest Temple from Khajuraha premises
    Inspiration from kamasutra
    The Vishwanath Temple ("Vishwanath" means "Lord of the Universe" and is one of the attributes of Shiva) belongs to the most
    precious group of Hindu temples in Khajuraho, those within the Western enclosure.The sculptures of the temple present, at the
    highest stylistic levels, motifs similar to those visible in the other most famous temples in Khajuraho: deities, mythical animals,
    surasundari (celestial ladies) engaged in different activities: they dance, play musical instruments, cradle babies, or they simply
    show themselves in sensual attitudes: a feast for the eyes!The sculptures of the temple present, at the highest stylistic levels,
    motifs similar to those visible in the other most famous temples in Khajuraho: deities, mythical animals, surasundari (celestial
    ladies) engaged in different activities: they dance, play musical instruments, cradle babies, or they simply show themselves in
    sensual attitudes: a feast for the eyes!Then there are the erotic scenes (maithuna) typical of the Khajuraho site, which see two
    or more subjects as protagonists.
    In conclusion i would say It is the best Temple in Khajuraha premises so go and visit.
    Every year
    Khajuraha dance
    festival held in the
    month of February so
    if you are planning to
    visit go in that season

    That’s it
