Temple town Khahuraho is very different from other templw citi of India. it is not about religion and worshipping and detites. The temples of Khajuraho are insteat famous for the eroticism etched on its walls in the form of sculptures.An amalgamation of science and art of architecture, these 10th-11th century temples have a very interesting legend behind them that connects them to the origin of Chandela Dynasty. It is said that in a fit of passion and lust, the Moon God seduced and ravaged a beautiful Brahmin girl know as Hemvati, resulting in the birth of Chandravarman(the founder of Chnadela dynasty). Later, Chndravarman had a dream where his mother requested him to make a temple, which would reveal all aspects of the treasure of passion and erotic fantasy to the world.

Before travelling to Khajuraho I collected some information about the purpose of the temples. I heard that the temples and perhaps the whole medieval Indian state Jejaka-bhukti were tantric. When going to the temples I sat down and tried to experience the mood that was created by the builders.
Although the places and the times differed from temple to temple I felt that they were meant as spirito-therapeutic devices.
On the outer walls many kinds of emotions are displaced as stone figures.
Before entering the sanctum sanctorum you were expected to watch carefully all figures and situations and find how they touch your psycic condition. There are situations that express your greeds, your sexual longings, your angst or your lust for being superior or even cruel ...
Go deep into these experiences, meditatively, understand them, and become healed from the bondings to your emotions - become free of the emotions and be now able to come close to your godhead. Enter the centre of the temple and join a night-long spiritually healing puja.
I understand that the rulers of the Chandela dynasty aimed at a contented population to have peace in the atate. One way was the spiritual healing process in the temples to which everybody was invited.
Have a look to my homepage www.aryaman-stefan.de with an english summary.
