We went to Khajuraho partly because there is an airport there. But is was great to visit again.

14 The Bijamandala Temple is little more than a mound with some foundations and lots of carved stones. Still, they are trying to keep people from stealing rocks to sell to private collectors.
15 It is not clear if these carved stones were ever used, as the temple apparently was never finished.
