Khajuraho Dance Festival

Experience traditional Indian dance performances

India’s folklore has been transmitted through the ages through its living traditions – music, dance, and drama. Each of our visual and performing arts can bring legends and mythology to life; storytelling at its best. Khajuraho’s Dance Festival is a yearly tradition, where India’s 8 classical dance forms narrate stories from our epics and ancient literature against the backdrop of beautiful, erotic sculptures and temples.
