    Explanation:

    • The temples at Khajuraho were built during the Chandela dynasty, which reached its apogee between 950 and 1050. Only about 20 temples remain; they fall into three distinct groups and belong to two different religions – Hinduism and Jainism.
    • The temples at Khajuraho are all made of sandstone. They were patronized by the Chandela dynasty. Hence, option B is correct.
    • The Khajuraho temples are also known for their erotic sculptures. Many erotic sculptures are carved on the plinth wall. Some erotic sculptures are carved on the actual wall of the temple.
    • Khajuraho’s sculptures are highly stylized with typical features: they are in almost full relief, cut away from the surrounding stone, with sharp noses, prominent chins, long slanting eyes and eyebrows
    • The Lakshamana temple, a panchayatana type represents the full-fledged, developed style of temple architecture during the time of the Chandelas.
