In this episode of the podcast, we will discuss the Nagara-style temples, and deep dive into the tremendous merger of socio-cultural elements with religion during the Chandella dynasty. We shall discuss the exceptional and infamous Khajuraho temples. 

We’ll try to answer some pertinent questions — who were the Chandellas, and what inspired them to build the Khajuraho temples? What has successive research concluded about the meaning and symbolism of the erotic sculptures on the temple?

Further, we will arrive at the patronage by the Chandellas by discussing the Khajuraho temples, which include Kandariya Mahadeo and Lakshmana temples. We’ll study the significance of the erotic sculptures and their symbolic inclination, and try to understand the concept of sacred and secular in the temple.
