What travelers are saying

Beautiful temple which is the largest of the western group.This along with Kandariya Mahadeva are a delight to watch and understand.

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!

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

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.
