After another interminable hour drive we arrive at khajurhao, here we went straight to the hotel to charge the camera and freshen up a bit.
In our hotel we also found local assistant, Mr. ... I do not remember the name ... who introduced himself and then immediately was "worried" to organize the evening, proposing to attend a performance of traditional music and dance, the thing we liked a lot and so we agreed immediately, but his "preoccuazione" smelled a little ...
After an hour we left the hotel and with our local guide, a man who has had a 60In years, friendly and well-trained called Mr. Gyvan ...
Mr.Gyvan showed us all temples in the city, in fact Khajurhao is famous for its temples which were carved over millennia of erotic scenes.
are various legends that seek to explain why is it important these representations, but what strikes the visitor, in addition to the difficult positions love, and exceptional accuracy with which the artists carved the stone, giving expression to the figures in "HD "... we went to visit the temples of the Western Group, who are the most important and impressive, these are located in beautiful gardens, (the park is protected by UNESCO, and you could see ...).
The main temple, really beautiful, more than 30 meters, a true masterpiece is architecture, depicted here were hunting scenes, erotic scenes, the ubiquitous symbol of royal and many elephants.
Then we went to visit the Jain temples where there were, apart from the group of Spaniards who always met, the huge statues of the Jain prophets and here Gyvan
told us a little history of Hinduism and divisions that have led the birth of Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
... Many sculptures after ...
we returned to the hotel, here we made a shower and went to see a show of traditional music.
This was really quite nice, the artists, dressed in traditional clothes, reproducing the traditional dances and songs of different Indian states. + + + + + + Very good
After the show, yet again, our "local assistant" was "worried" to propose a hike of several hours for the next morning,
but since we already knew that we had cheated on the price of the show, and we had neither time nor desire to fool us again we refused and went away.
At dinner we were at the Restaurant - Pizzeria "Mediterranean" with our friend and driver Shyam (that's when we said that the assistant we had cheated him wanted to stop to make matters ...),
since this was our last day in his company, because the next day we took a flight that would take us to Varanasi.
then we had a couple of pizzas and drained a lot of beer to celebrate!
After dinner we withdrew cash in an ATM besieged by millions of small crickets and bugs ...
and then we went to sleep. SEE YOU SOON
SEXY CITY!
