The Khajuraho temples of India were built by the Chandela rulers of the Rajput dynasty around the10th century. Construction seems to have continued till about the 12th century. Chandela Rajputs rose to power during the early 10th century AD in the land now known as Bundelkhand. Starting out as feudatories of the Partiharas dynasty of Kannauj, they rose to become a major power in northern India and were keen patrons of the arts and equally great builders.

According to some schools of thought, the attainment of perfection in the three prime spheres of life, namely dharma or piety, artha or economic fulfillment and kama -fulfillment of material desires, lead to moksha or salvation. Kama or love as the element involved in the creation thus had religious sanction. The depiction of amorous couples in architecture was seen as the sign of fertility bestowing great merits on the builder. Though local tradition lists eighty-five Khajuraho (Khajurao) temples, only about 25 in various stages of preservation, have survived the degradations of time
