Khajuraho Temples : Art Or Controversy?

Shikhar Srivastava

Seekho ke History Express mein aaj hum Khajuraho ke mandiron ki charcha karte hain, jo dasvi aur gyarahvi shatabdi mein Chandel raajaon dwara nirmit kiye gaye the. In mandiron ki deewaron par ukheeri gayi aakritiyan jeevan ke har pahlu ko darshati hain, jaise nritya, sangeet, yuddh aur prem. Ye mandir na keval kala ka pradarshan hain, balki ek vivaad bhi, jo aksar adhunik drishti se dekha jaata hai. Khajuraho ek aaina hai jo humein hamari soch aur sanskriti ke bare mein sochna sikhaata hai. Dekhiye aur seekhiye, kaise praachin kalpanaen aaj bhi prasangik hain.
 
Khajuraho is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Madhya Pradesh, famous for its 10th–11th century temples built by the Chandela dynasty. Renowned for their intricate sculptures, the temples depict gods, daily life, and human relationships, reflecting a philosophy that viewed spirituality and worldly life as interconnected. Often debated for their erotic imagery, Khajuraho is ultimately celebrated as a masterpiece of Indian art and thought.
