century, the temples were left under 
the cover of dense date palm trees for 
many years, which gave the city of 
Khajuraho its name, Khajur in Hindi 
means a date. In the ancient times it 
was known as Vatsa . In 1838, a British 
army engineer, Captain T.S. Burt 
rediscovered them. By that time only

survived.
