Location
Khajuraho, a small town in Madhya Pradesh is famed for its temples with wonderful sculptures. It is believed that there were 85 temples in the regions, out of which 25 exist at present. Lakhmi temple, dedicated to goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth, belongs to the Western Group of temples. A comparatively smaller shrine, this temple depicts moderate sculptures. The images of two guards supporting the pillar posts in front of the sanctum sanctorum are quite remarkable.
A number of images of gods and goddesses enshrine the walls of this fascinating shrine. The temples of Kahjuraho have been included in the World Heritage List for their outstanding architecture and artistic value.
