Khajuraho

The Chandela temples, and the carvings everyone's heard about.

Quick Answer

What is Khajuraho known for? Khajuraho's temple complex, built between 950 and 1050 CE by the Chandela dynasty, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its intricate carvings — a fraction of which are the erotic sculptures most visitors have heard about, out of a much broader body of work.
