Khajuraho
While less visited than the Western Group, the Eastern Group includes a cluster of exquisitely carved Jain temples — particularly the Parsvanatha Temple with its beautifully detailed friezes of celestial beings — set in a peaceful garden complex in Khajuraho's old village area.
The Parsvanatha Temple's side entrance panel depicting a woman removing a thorn from her foot is one of Indian sculpture's most celebrated images of feminine beauty.
