Late afternoon light throws long shadows across a field of sandstone spires as you arrive in Khajuraho—temple towers rising like a carved skyline against an open sky. The first night lands you in a small town where the pulse is calm and the scent of incense and cooking oil drifts from family homes. By morning, terraces of carved stone greet you: figures frozen in motion, gods and lovers occupying the same stone grammar.
