Since my schooling days, I had read about Khajuraho temples. There have been ample T.V. shows focussing on Khajuraho temples. I had been always wanting to visit Khajuraho at least once in my life but it being in plains and having on inclination towards plains , never went to see Khajuraho. But in December when I learnt about IRCTC FAM trip to Varanasi, Khajuraho and Agra, I was happy and immediately said a big YES to the FAM trip.

First we heard story from the guide about the history of Khajuraho Temples. It was interesting to know that to increase the population of the town, such different and unique statues were made on the outer walls of these temples to spread the message. Yet another interesting fact was to understand that Tantrik people in historical times wanted to achieve salvation via certain methods.Point to note is that there are no such statues inside temples.
