Risking boring all of you to death with trips from the December holiday here is the last from khajuraho. The eastern group of temples not all neatly segregated away with a compound wall- instead in the middle of fields and villages with locals lounging on h the steps and washing clothes in the nearby streams. The jain complex is a little different though. Some older temples but also a lot of new stuff- clean and white and marble. The older temples have hindu and jain icons all mixed up. The runs of a temple currently being excavated are also here with the parts of the building all laid out neat and clean waiting to be reassembled
