It is always recommended to visit Khajuraho between 25th February
to 2nd March, as this is the period to celebrate the world
famous Khajuraho dance festival. This internationally famed
dance festival is held each year and you will thoroughly enjoy
this grand event. This classical dance festival is held to
celebrate the glory of the various temples of Khajuraho. The
festival draws the best classical dancers from around the
country, who perform against the spectacular backdrop of the
floodlit temples.
The western group of temples acts as the exquisite backdrop
for the performers - usually the Chitragupta Temple and the
Vishwanatha Temple. You will have to reach the venue in the
evening. The temples is lit up with thousands of shimmering
fairy lights. This dream sight will truly be a feast for your
eyes and senses.
The Festival displays various classical styles of Indian dance
such as Kathak, Bharat Natyam, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Manipuri
and Kathakali. Every evening, two accomplished artists from
different genres perform in the open-air auditorium. Artists
and dancers celebrate this event with excellent dance and
music pieces, specifically created for this occasion. You
could not help but watch the dance with undivided attention.
