Khajuraho situated in the heart of the most northern part of the state Madhya Pradesh is famous for its splendid temples. These temples with outstanding sculptures embellished in stone were built during the reign of the Chandela dynasty. This small town in the heart of Madhya Pradesh is also famous for its legendary Khajuraho dance festival.

The temples of Khajuraho are dedicated to Gods and goddesses like Shiva, Jagadamba and Vishnu . These temples from the 10^th century form a closed architectural unit with outstanding sculptural art and architecture. These temples are known to the outside world only for their erotic sculptures. On the contrary these sculptures reflect mainly the life of that time in all its moods, and the deep religious faith of these people. Some of these temples are already thousand years old, while some will celebrate this birthday next year.

The year 1999 was celebrated as the silver-jubilee of the dance-festival of Khajuraho. Artists and dancers celebrated this year with self composed Dance and Music pieces specifically created for this occasion. A new music festival on the design of the dance festival was organized in October and is turned into an annual tradition. Events such as, a film-festival, seminars related to art, an international sculptor meet, a theater performance on Khajuraho are only a few to mention from the many events planned. 

The Khajuraho Festival of Dances draws the best classical dancers in the country who perform against the spectacular backdrop of the floodlit temples every year in February/March.

The past and the present silhouetted against the glow of a setting sun becomes an exquisite backdrop for the performers.

In a setting where the earthly and the divine create perfect harmony - an event that celebrates the pure magic of the rich classical dance traditions of India. As dusk falls, the temples are lit up in a soft, dream-like ethereal stage.

The finest exponents of different classical Indian styles are represented - Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Odissi, Manipuri, and many more.
