Temples and Sculptures of Khajuraho

Also, some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. There are many interpretations of the erotic carvings. They portray that, for seeing the deity, one must leave his or her sexual desires outside the temple. They also show that divinity, such as the deities of the temples, is pure like the atmaa, which is not affected by sexual desires and other characteristics of the physical body.
The Khajuraho temples are made of sandstone. The builders didn't use mortar: the stones were put together with mortise and tenon joints and they were held in place by gravity. This form of construction requires very precise joints. The columns and architraves were built with megaliths that weighed up to 20 tons.
खजुराहो के मंदिरों का निर्माण 950 ईसवीं से 1050 ईसवीं के बीच चंदेल राजाओं द्वारा किया गया।
The temples are grouped into three geographical divisions: western, eastern and southern.
Only as many as 10% carvings contain sexual themes, not between any
deities but between ordinary humans. The rest depict the common man's life of those days.
For example ladies applying makeup, musicians, potters, Farmers etc.
All these are away from Temple deities. They give the message that one should always have God as the central point in one's life even though one is engaged in worldly activities.
The temples were built under the late Chandela kings between 950 and 1050 AD.
