Synopsis

This book is part of the Monumental Legacy series, aimed at giving a beief and accurate introduction to World Heritage (Culture) Sites in India. The deries is addressed to the general reader but is also of use to scholars interested in the history and singificaance of the site.

Questioning popular stereotypes, Desai delinks Khajuraho from its associations with eroticism, offering fresh interpretations of the sculptures, which, thought apparently sensual, actually conceal a deeper symbolism.

It is introduction to the magnificent eorld of the Chandella temples, their history, patonage, court culture, religion, iconography, and the distinctive features of the sculputres and architecture. Exploring each of the twenty-five temples in detail, this book also discussrs the excavated Bijamandala temple and the three museums at the site and provides practical tips and information for the visitor.
