One summer night, while she was bathing in a lotus-filled pond, the Moon God was so dazed by her beauty that he descended to earth in human form full of lust and passion and ravished her. A son was born of this union between a human and a god. His mother named him Chandravarman. As she was a widow who had given birth to a child she feared being harassed by society. To save herself and her child she took refuge in the dense forest of Central India. Here she trained her son both as a mother and a mentor or guru. The boy grew up to become a brave king who went on to establish the great Candela dynasty. When he was established as a ruler, he had a dream-where his mother implored him to build temples that would reveal human passions. Chandravarman began the construction of the first of the temples and successive rulers. Thus he brought an artistic revolution by building the famous khajuraho temples, in the town, which was his capital.
