Between 950 and 1050 some 80 temples were built within a thriving city at Khajuraho  in the centre of India. Only 20 temples survive, and the city has shrunk to a small agricultural village. The daily life of an agricultural Indian village continues here amidst temples, famous for architecture and for the extraordinary profusion of sculpture celebrating the graceful sensuality and languid eroticism of heavenly nymphs.
