Who organized this year festival?
History of the festival:
The Khajuraho dance festival was started in 1975 from the temple premises itself. It was not allowed to be performed in the temple premises only after two-three years, as a result, this ceremony was performed outside the temple premises. Last year, the Culture Department’s effort to organize this program in the temple premises was successful and this year also this function is being done in the temple premises itself.
Along with this, State Rupankar Kala Puraskars were also given for the year 2022:
