Temples at Khajuraho





While in Khajuraho we had the pleasure of visiting several temples. I could not believe the intricate details of the stone carving on the facade of the buildings. These are just a few of the temples that Hindus use in order to worship a few of their 333,000,000 gods and goddesses. And yes I mean 333 million! Being the Baptist that I am, I asked our guide, who was Hindu, how they knew if a man's actions were pleasing to one god while the same action might be displeasing to another. Surely there would be some overlapping somewhere with so many gods and goddesses. He thought for a minute and said well no one actually knows all of the 333 million but they are recorded in books. End of story!
