Which of the following dynasties constructed the famous temples at Khajuraho during the 10th and 11th centuries CE ?
Chandela
Khajuraho, in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, lay in the Bundelkhand region (Jejakabhukti), the heartland of the Chandela Rajputs.
Between about 950 and 1050 CE the Chandela kings, notably Yashovarman and Dhanga, built around 85 Hindu and Jain temples there in the Nagara style; the Kandariya Mahadeva, Lakshmana and Parshvanath temples are the best known. The group is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
The Paramaras ruled Malwa (Dhar), the Solankis ruled Gujarat (they built the Modhera Sun Temple), and the Cholas ruled Tamil Nadu (Brihadeeswara Temple). None of them built Khajuraho.
Hence, Chandela.
