What travelers are saying

The Lakshmana temple which is a part of the western group of temples, is another fascinating temple, built in the 10 th century, dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

The entire temple complex stands on a high platform (Jagati) and the structure consists of most elements of Hindu temple architecture.

Around the temple are 2 bands of art sculpture on the base of the temple is a frieze with battle scenes and hunting all I can say is wow!

Amazing architecture, light and sound show a bit over prices but was nice to see

We enjoyed the Temples by day, the architecture is amazing!! We spend at least 2 hours per site. The sound and light show was nice to see but a bit over priced. If you have not seen it anywhere else its definately worth it!

Great detail and history

Really glad we had the opportunity to come here. The details of this structure were amazing. If you go make sure you get a good guide as just walking around is great but having the carving details pointed out adds so much to the experience....More

Can you walk between all the temples at kahjuraho? Also is it free or do you HAVE to take a tour

AnswerShow all 8 answers

No. you can not walk between all the temples as they are far away. They charge nominal entrance fee. But it's recommended to take a guide who will explain all the details.
