Temples of Khajuraho 1.0 APK

The temples of Khajuraho are a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh, India. The temples were built over a period of 100 years between 950-1050 CE by Chandela rulers. Out of the 85 or so temples that were built only 24 are now extant. The earliest temple, Chausath Yogini, constructed circa A.D. 850-900, was the only temple made entirely of Granite. Every other temple at Khajuraho is primarily constructed of sandstone. 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. These temples are world treasures and Khajuraho is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India.
