Explanation

The temples at ‘Khajuraho’ were built by the Chandelas. The Khajuraho temples are made of sandstone. The Pallavas didn't use mortar and they were held in place by gravity. This form of construction requires very precise joints. The columns and architraves were built with megaliths that weighed up to 20 tons.
