    Episteme: an online interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary & multi-cultural journal Bharat College of Arts and Commerce, Badlapur, MMR, India Volume 6, Issue 4 March 2018 PHOTO FEATURES OF TEMPLES OF KHAJURAHO By Dr. Krishna Chandra Jha The UNESCO World Heritage Site, Khajuraho is a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh (India, about 175 kilometers southeast of Jhansi. The temples are famous for their “NAGAR” style (North Indian Temple‟s Architectural Style) and their erotic carvings. Most of the Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. The first recorded mention of Khajuraho temples in accounts of Foreign Albiruni in AD 1022. Local traditions list 85 temples in Khajuraho, out of which 25 temples are surviving & scattered in 20 sq. kilometers area. The temples were built together but were dedicated to two Hinduism & Jainism, suggesting a tradition of acceptance and respect for diverse religious views in the region. 4 Purushartha is an ideal concept of Indian social thinkers since millennium. These are known as Dharma (ethics, duty), Artha (wealth, prosperity), Kama (pleasure, sensual gratification) and Moksha (liberation, spiritual values). These are the blueprint for human fulfillment, signposts and those points us to a successful, satisfying, balanced existence in the world. Working with them can help you to make a balanced life at the deepest and most holistic level. In Indian literature and philosophy, Kama denotes longing and desire, often with a sexual connotation. But the broader concept refers to any wish, passion, and pleasure of the senses, affection, love or enjoyment of life. In the Upanishads (ancient Hindu texts), the term is used in the broader sense of any type of desire.
