The Khajuraho Dance Festival is one of India’s most prominent cultural tourism events, organised annually by the Government of Madhya Pradesh since 1975 near the UNESCO World Heritage Khajuraho temples. The festival is usually held for a week in February and showcases major Indian classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Manipuri and Kathakali, with participation from leading artists across the country. The performances are staged in open-air auditoriums against the backdrop of historic temples like Chitragupta and Vishvanatha, creating a unique fusion of heritage, spirituality and performing arts. ([Wikipedia][1]) One of the major achievements of the Khajuraho Dance Festival is its contribution to cultural preservation and revival of classical arts. Over five decades, it has provided a national and international platform for traditional dance forms and helped revive rare styles that were declining in popularity. The festival also symbolically connects performing arts with temple heritage, reinforcing India’s civilisational continuity and strengthening cultural identity. The event has nurtured artistic excellence by giving exposure to renowned performers as well as emerging artists. ([GKToday][2]) Another important achievement is its role in promoting cultural tourism. The festival has significantly increased tourist inflow to Khajuraho, especially during the festival season. Cultural travellers, heritage tourists and international visitors are attracted by the combination of temple architecture and live performances. This has enhanced Madhya Pradesh’s image as a cultural tourism destination and generated revenue opportunities for the local economy through hotels, transport, handicrafts and local services. ([GKToday][2]) The festival has also achieved global recognition through record-breaking performances ______ __________ _____ ________ _______ ______ ________ ______ ____.
