Khajuraho Temples, Madhya Pradesh
Spread over nine square miles, this group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh will leave visitors in utter awe. Built by the Chandela dynasty between 950 and 1050, the sandstone structures are most famously known for their erotic sculptures. And although only 25 of the original 85 temples remain today, that still hasn’t stopped the monuments from claiming a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage site list.
