1. Khajuraho Temples
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2,700 reviews
Magnificent temples built between 950 A.D. and 1050 A.D.
Reviewed By rambabuyarlagadda - Lafayette, United States
These temples especially the ones in the western group of temples are well preserved and are wonderful examples of the best temple architecture. One thing that is really unique in Khajuraho is that daily life in contemporary time is depicted beautifully in sculptures on the walls. Gives the best historical evidence of how liberated and equal partners women were to men in the Sanatana Dharma culture prior to Islamic invasions. One has to get over the superficial view of eroticism to get to the real meaning behind the sculptures and get the concept of transforming sexual energy into spiritual energy. A good guide with a spiritual understanding of the temple sculptures would be very helpful.

Its and amazing experience to visit M P Tribal Musium. I interacted with the batch of Manipur and Naga Tribes. Saw their Art, Dance and the way they mingle with common people. They are very loving in nature and were overwhelmed visiting Bhopal. Surely visit the Musium. The M P Government has created a platform for remotest tribes to showcase their talent. Excellent indeed!

A beautiful building built in the British era surrounded by endless green well maintained gardens interspersed with small water bodies will lift the hearts of everyone. The children can enjoy the endless gardens while the grown ups can add to the experience by visiting the museum. If u are visiting from another city make sure to keep a full day aside for a complete experience.

Salar Jung Museum is a collection or arts, artifacts, jewels from around the world. Salar Jung III was the Prime Minister of the Nizam of Hyderabad and his love for collecting artifacts is showcased in this museum. However, not all of his collections is displayed here. A few of the famous ones are Lord Vishnu sleeping on a serpent (made out of granite), The Veiled Rebecca (marble statue), The British Bracket Clock (a small toy comes out and hits the gong every hour), The Jade room, Double Statue of Mephistopheles & Margaretta (carved out of single piece of wood it has 2 distinct faces on either side). There are paintings by Raja Ravi Varma as well. It will take more than an entire day to visit all the rooms and look at all the artifacts. Atleast keep 2-3 hours aside to walk through the galleries. There is also a small souvenier shop on the ground floor. On a weekend the queues are long and try not to go on a public holiday as one cannot enjoy the artifacts in peace :) I have been to this museums multiple times and every time I lay my eyes on something new which I may have not looked at previously.

This museum is located close to Amer Fort and is excellent value for money (clean toilets too!). We looked at the exhibitions and then had a live demonstration of how to make a wooden block pattern to use as a print. We continued to another live demonstration of how to block print on fabric. We were able to have a go and were allowed to take our sampler piece away as a souvenir. A very quiet museum which is well worth a visit.
