City Information
At Khajuraho, the world-renowned groups of temples western, eastern and southern are must visits. The adjoining Archeological Museum is worth visiting for its collection of the sculptures, inscriptions, and architectural objects. At a distance of sixty-four kms is the Dhubela Museum famous for the Shakti Cult Sculpture. Closer at seven kilometers is the picnic spot of Benisagar Lake that is ideal for boating and angling. The Pandava waterfall and the Ranch waterfalls are other nature spots worth visiting. The annual Khajuraho Dance Festival celebrated in the months of February/March with performances by the Indian classical dancers is a true feast. The temples form the ideal background for the occasion. The festival of Mahashivratri is worth more than participation at Khajuraho. Local handicrafts, silver goods and brassware make good souvenirs from Khajuraho.
