Besides these, there is hardly any other service for the visitors
in the village itself where a shabby hotel advertises its dark rooms.
Driving by bus to Khajuraho from the town of Jhansi we could still
see some palm trees as well as mango and teak trees in a lush
countryside which contrasted sharply with the aridity of much
of the rest of central India we had crossed.
Hand-made trinkets are spread on the pavement of the sidewalks for sale
as souvenirs. The grounds of “The Archeological Museum” are used to hoist
dirty umbrellas over those trinkets.
Nobody seems to visit the museum itself. Instead, young men beseech
tourists in their buses to buy their guidebooks.
A disheveled fruit peddler offers only bananas and oranges from his broken wooden cart; another sits on his cart cracking open chestnuts, the only product he has to sell.
Today Khajuraho is a small village. Its main street caters to small-time tourists. There are little stores that sell film for cameras and little restaurants that sell vegetarian dishes over the counter.
