Khajuraho is home to a famous group of impressive temples which are one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, their fame mostly due to the erotic carvings featured on some of them, and they are often referred to as the "Kamasutra temples". Due to their remote location in the state of Madhya Pradesh, these unique temples survived the many Muslim dynasties that ruled in the area and desecrated many Jain and Hindu temples over the years.
