Day 2 (Part1)
It was 15 March 2020 in Khajuraho, we woke up at 7.30 AM and got ready by 9 AM and checked out of the Surya Hotel. After putting our luggage in the car, we did breakfast at the Guru Kripa Bhojnalay just adjacent to our hotel. We ordered some paratha's and tea, the quality of the food was really good and the price was reasonable. We straightaway went to Western Group Of Temples which was 100 Meters from hotel. The entry changes are Rs 40 for Indian and Rs 600 for foreigners. The Guide charges are anywhere between Rs 500 to 1500 depending on your bargaining skills
. We paid Guide charge was 700. The temple complex had very less tourist as foreigner tourist's were not allowed in India after 13 March 2020, as most of the tourist who visit are foreigners, after Taj Mahal the most visited monument in India by foreigner tourist's are Khajuraho Temple's.
The Khajuraho Group of Monuments has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 AD and 1050 AD by the Chandela dynasty. The Khajuraho group of temples are dedicated to two religions, Hinduism and Jainism. There are 3 major temple groups in khajuraho, Western Group, Eastern Group and Southern Group of temples. The most famous is Western Group Of Temples which has Lakshmana
Temple and Kandariya Mahadeva (the largest temple) are a must see.
After watching the Western Group Of Temples, We went to Matangeshwar Mahadev Temple which is just adjacent to Western Group Of Temples.
Matangeshwar Mahadev Temple has a 9 feet high shivalinga. Matangeshwar Mahadev Temple is famous temple among locals and there is fair held on every shivaratri. After having the blessings of lord shiva we felt really happy and everybody was rejoiced.
It was 12.30 PM now and we were feeling hungry, So we did Lunch at a Restaurant just opposite to Western Group Of Temples Raja Cafe. Raja Cafe is famous Restaurant in Khajuraho. The ambience and food both were really good, this place had some vibe to it and I will highly recommend this Restaurant to every traveller visiting Khajuraho.
After lunch we left for Raneh Falls.
Get the real feel of Khajuraho Temples, Darshan of Matangeshwar Mahadev Temple & The ambience of Raja Cafe in my Vlog.
To be contunied.......
