Answer 2

Hint: In Khajuraho, there are both Hindu and Jain temples which make it an important historical site in the region of Madhya Pradesh. This region is rich in the availability of multiple types of stones and therefore, can be connected to the choice of material used for the construction.

Complete answer: The temples in Khajuraho have been constructed between 950 CE to 1050 CE. The majority of these temples are built of sandstone, with the foundation/ base being constructed of granite. Both these materials are available in Madhya Pradesh and many other parts of the Indian subcontinent.

The Khajuraho temples have both Hindu and Jain shrines. Kandariya Mahadeo temple is the most famous, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Chausath Yogini, Brahma, Shiva, Varaha, Surya, Vamana, and Vishnu are also the deities for whom shrines have been dedicated in Khajuraho.

Khajuraho stands as one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites today and is one of the seven wonders in India.
