Editing Khajuraho Group of Monuments (section)

== Chronology ==
The Khajuraho group of temples belong to [[Vaishnavism]] school of Hinduism, [[Shaivism|Saivism]] school of Hinduism and [[Jainism]] - nearly a third each. Archaeological studies suggest all three types of temples were under construction at about the same time in late 10th century, and in use simultaneously. [[Will Durant]] states that this aspect of Khajuraho temples illustrates the tolerance and respect for different religious viewpoints in the Hindu and Jain traditions.<ref>Will Durant (1976), Our Oriental Heritage - The Story of Civilization, ISBN 978-0671548001, Simon & Schuster</ref> In each group of Khajuraho temples, there were major temples surrounded by smaller temples - a grid style that is observed to varying degrees in Hindu temples in Angkor Wat, Parambaran and South India.

The largest surviving Saiva temple is Khandarya Mahadeva, while the largest surviving Vaishnava group includes Chaturbhuja and Ramachandra.

Kandariya Mahadeva Temple plan is 109&nbsp;ft in length by 60&nbsp;ft, and rises 116&nbsp;ft above ground and 88&nbsp;ft above its own floor. The central padas are surrounded by three rows of sculptured figures, with over 870 statues, most being half life size (2.5 to 3 feet). The spire is a self repeating fractal structure.
