I'm sure Niyam knows it, since he saw the place with his own naked, steaming eyes, so this is just a didactic note for the rest of you: The stuff Khajuraho has a reputation for is completely overblown. It's only the tourism industry that pushes it, making it seem like a total sleazepit. Sure, you can find it if you search for it. But Khajuraho is really quite a pretty town, much more decent than Delhi, inexpensive, with amazingly pretty, well-maintained temples which a prude can visit without being embarrassed. Broadband cybercafes everywhere too. Not a bad place for a Delhi coder to migrate to in winter months for some heavy hacking. Maybe we should have a fosscamp there sometime?
