KHAJURAHO FESTIVAL OF DANCES

The Khajuraho festival of Dances was started in 1975 by the Madhya Pradesh Kala Parishad with a view to promote tourism in the State. The aim of the Festival is to attract attention to the rich architectural heritage of Khajuraho. The festival imbibes the spirit of an eternal glory, where the artists and the backdrop of the Khajuraho Temples merge together in total Harmony.

The State Government had declared the period from March 1999 to March 2000 as the 'Khajuraho millennium' since many of the Temples at Khajuraho completed 1000 years of existence.
