The temples of Khajuraho are one the India's major attractions.

I can see this temple from my hotel without paying the entrance fee.

THIS TEMPLE is AMONG THE FINEST MONUMENTS OF KHAJURAHO AND IS DEDICATED TO LORD SHIVA, IT WAS A PANCHAYATANA SHRINE BUT OF THE FOUR SUBSIDIARY SHRINES. ONLY TWO IN THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST CORNERS HAVE SURVIVED, THE TEMPLE SHOWS ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE DEVELOPED KHAJURAHO TEMPLES - ENTRANCE PORCH (ARDHA MANDAPA), MANDAPA, MAHA MANDAPA AND SANCTUM ENCLOSED BY AN AMBULATORY.

ARCHITECTURALLY THE TEMPLE FALLS BETWEEN THE LAXMANA AND KANDARIYA MAHADEVA TEMPLES, THE INSCRIPTIONS OF THE MANDAPA REFERS TO THE DEDICATIONS OF TWO LINGAS, ONE MADE OF EMERALD AND THE OTHER OF STONE IN A TOWERING TEMPLE OF SIVA MARAKATESVARA BUILT BY THE CHANDELLA KING DHANGA IN 1002 AD, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE INSCRIPTION REFERS TO VISVANATHA TEMPLE

The man on right said, "Come have a khajuraho, brother." (khajuraho was a very common kind of fruit around the area in the past).

The other man replied, "Can't you see I'm busy?"

The nayika, of course, has no interest on what the men are doing.
