Khajuraho Temple

Khajuraho Temple

The history of Khajuraho located in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh is very old. Khajuraho got its name from Khajuraho because it had a huge garden of palm trees. Khajuraho got its name from Khajirwahila. Ibn Batuta has called this place Kajara, so Chinese traveler Xuanzang has written it as 'Chi: Chi: Tau' in his language. Alberuni calls it 'Jejahuti', while in Sanskrit it has been spoken of 'Jejak Bhukti'. In the poems of Chand Bardai, it was called 'Khajurpur' and at one time it was also known as 'Khajurwahk'. People believed that this name may have got its name at this time due to the two palm trees at the city gate, which later became known as Khajuraho. 

All those Maithuni idols have been inscribed in Khajuraho, which used to be free from human antiquity which was not afraid of God nor morality of religions. However, in the absence of maintenance, while these idols are being destroyed, there have also been reports of theft of idols from these heritage sites.

Most religions have opposed sex and despised it, due to which it is considered an immoral and unethical act. Religion, state and society made most efforts to control and limit the interaction between man and woman. There were many reasons behind this. Due to this restriction, people are hesitant to discuss it and read, watch etc. any kind of material on it, but all do this mischief (?) While hiding from others. There is no attempt to find the causes of rape in the society.

Sex is neither enigmatic nor beastly. Sex is neither associated with sin nor virtue. It is a normal act but due to its ban it has come to the center of society. Sex instincts in animals are simple and normal, while humans have put it on the head. There is no fault in meat, alcohol and sex, the fault is in man's instinct and insatiableness. Kamsukh is a natural tendency, but man has made it unnatural.

The most important thing about Khajuraho is that the faces of men and women depicted in the rugs of tu reflect a supernatural and aura of divine bliss. There is no sense of vulgarity or vulgarity in this. These temples and their sculptures are priceless heritage of Indian architecture and art. Seeing the magnificence, beauty and antiquity of these temples, they have been included in the World Heritage.

All the Maithuni idols have been inscribed in Khajurahas, which used to be free from human antiquity which was neither afraid of God nor morality of religions. Although its sculpture is part of temples dedicated to Lakshmana, Shiva and Parvati, their religious significance cannot be denied.

However, there are many other temples in India where erotic images are depicted, as we have in our previous article, 'The erotic idols of temples where they are special!' Mentioned and indicated, but there is no comparison of these temples with Khajuraho temples. Painted with a different charm in Khajuraho, these sculptures are one of its most unique creations. Whenever you visit Madhya Pradesh, do not forget to visit this UNESCO heritage.

You will be able to see these attractive idols in the walls, pillars etc. The depicted characters of the idols tell us a lot about worldly pleasures. But you would not think that only these statues have been depicted here, in addition to these, many such statues are also engraved which refer to stories of our daily life. According to many researchers and scholars, one of the main objectives of painting these idols here is that, whoever enters the temple, enters the mind filled with all his luxuries and enters with a clean mind. And to get rid of these luxuries it is necessary to experience them. Therefore these sculptures are depicted only on the outer walls of the temple.
