We arrived here in Khajuraho yesterday afternoon.  Last evening we had a lovely dinner in the beautiful garden restaurant and I went to sleep very early (9pm).

I have now had breakfast and am getting ready for my day and night here.  I am very excited to see these temples.  They have been on my wish list for many years.

The Khajuraho Group of Monuments in Khajuraho, a town in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, located inChhatarpur District, about 620 kilometres (385 mi) southeast of New Delhi, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Khajuraho has the largest group of medieval Hindu and Jain temples, famous for theirerotic sculptures.

The name Khajuraho, ancient "Kharjuravāhaka", is derived from the Sanskrit words kharjura = date palm andvāhaka = "one who carries". Locals living in the Khajuraho village always knew about and kept up the temples as best as they could. They were pointed out to the English in the late 19th century when the jungles had taken a toll on the monuments.In the 19th century, British engineer T.S. Burt arrived in the area, followed by General Alexander Cunningham. Cunningham put Khajuraho on the world map when he explored the site on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of India and described what he found in glowing terms. The Khajuraho Group of Monuments has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is considered to be one of the "seven wonders" of India
