Khajuraho, renowned for its magnificent temples adorned with intricate sculptures, served as one of the prominent capitals of the Chandela Dynasty.
The Chandela dynasty, originating from the Bundelkhand region of central India, flourished between the 9th and the 13th centuries. Their reign witnessed the construction of the Khajuraho temples, showcasing their artistic and architectural prowess. While other dynasties like the Kalachuris and Pratiharas held influence in the region, it was the Chandelas who established Khajuraho as their capital and left behind this enduring legacy of art and history. The Pala dynasty, primarily active in eastern India, did not have any connection to Khajuraho.
Therefore, the correct answer is the Chandela Dynasty.
