Khajuraho Temples are the reflection of real Nagara Architecture. The beautiful pyramid style temples have jaw-breaking details that every wall gives a picturesque moment. The pinnacle of the temple is known as Shikhra, acting as the place of the deities at the centre tower. It is followed by a series of intermediary and subsidiary towers with an entrance on its start. The site is reputed amongst UNESCO world heritage sites. 

The structure of Sanchi stupas was constructed by King Ashoka to preserve the teachings of Lord Buddha. The hemispherical dome is a perfect round and tells the tales of the great Mauryan dynasty.
