Khajuraho in November (2026)

Kandariya Mahadeva Temple

The largest and most ornate of the Khajuraho temples — a soaring 31-metre sandstone spire covered in nearly 900 sculpted figures depicting gods, celestial dancers, and the famous intricate carvings that have made the site world-famous.

Chitragupta Temple

A rare temple dedicated to Surya, the sun god — inside, an image of the deity riding his seven-horse chariot, while the exterior walls feature lively hunting scenes and royal processions carved in remarkable detail.

Devi Jagadambi Temple

Originally dedicated to Vishnu and later rededicated to the goddess Parvati, this temple's exterior carvings include some of Khajuraho's most celebrated depictions of divine and earthly love, alongside scenes of everyday medieval life.

Khajuraho Light & Sound Show

Held nightly among the illuminated Western Group temples, this show narrates the Chandela dynasty's rise and the construction of the temples — a dramatic, atmospheric way to see the monuments after dark.

Parsvanatha Jain Temple

The largest and finest of Khajuraho's Jain temples, built in the 10th century — its exterior carvings rival the Hindu temples in detail, while the interior houses a striking black image of Lord Parsvanatha.

Chaturbhuja Temple

The only major temple in the Southern Group, notable for its complete absence of erotic imagery — instead, it houses a colossal, beautifully proportioned image of a four-armed Vishnu, best viewed in the late afternoon light.
