The destiny of Kajuraho unfortunately has been decided by outsiders of Delhi or of  Agra that  made of  Khajuraho only  one stop, scheduled in the planned circular tour  Delhi, Agra, Orchha, Varanasi, Delhi,  instead of developing Khajuraho as a  cultural tourist centre linked with its marvellous  surroundings in Madhya and  Uttar Pradesh, with the naturalistic and anthropological heritage of Bundelkhand and of  Bagelkand. In this way every relation has been cut away with the other sites of the Chandella civilitazion  ( Mahoba, Ajaygarh, Kalinjar, Dudhai , Chandpur, Dhubela, etc..)  and whit the  temples  before and after Khajuraho of the Gupta, Pratihara, Kalachuri,  Kachchhapaghata periods, that can offer the chance of understanding the development of the Hindu temples in North India.
But this operation has been only the first introductory chapter of the complete misrepresentation of the reality of the art and of the religious imagery of Khajuraho, spread as the temples were built only in order  to facilitate the free sexual life of the local people by the Brahmanical ancient authorities, on whose supposed advices with the tourists act their real escorts and guides, the local lapkas.
This tourism, overlapping every connection with the activity of the national or local authorities of Madhya and Uttar Pradesh , or showing the complete indifference to the creation of new lines of communication  by road or by railway, has been more and more planned a  above all for rich persons  travelling by plane,  whose permanence in Khajuraho has become at the same time more and more expensive and  more and more  brief ,  less and less destined to the visit of the temples or to the knowledge of the anthropological and naturalistic rootedness of their spiritual beauty, in holies banians and papal, for example. and more and more to the shopping or to the fast-visit of parched parks and dry falls, without every sight of tigers but very money-making,
Khajuraho  by  this  choice, at whom the local economic powers are subordinated, has been adulterated in a monocultural  turistic centre  without other  real cultural institutions  than the ASI,  and without other cultural activities than the dance festival on February,  and little more , organized by  Shilpgram complex or  by Lalit Hotel.
But without support of schools and Institutes, this well-deserving cultural activity as the religious life by Navatatri, Diwali, Shivaratri, or the feast of Amauasia,  has become totally separated and without real influence on the tourism, .first of all on the content of the explications of the local guides,  not a  resumption of the research of the great historians of art like Krishna Deva or Devangana Desai, but especially one facetious and coarse entertainment on the sexual imagery of the temples that they show to their customers,  two, three, no more, please, frequently after the sunset in connection with the airplane timetable 
And to the local people what offer this cultural lucrative desert? The employment for few  in hotels  restaurants and shops ,or for assuring their supplying,  instead of the work for many people in factories, and the rumbles , the ciur ciur of this kind of development,  for too many autorickshaw drivers and  huckster, without every kind of  regulation of the authorization of their activity
Although the increasing of Indian tourists and visitors, in fact the  offer of the Khajuraho is  more and more  superior than the demand, the local  rich people thinking only to build new and new hotels and new and new  tourist shops and restaurants (that offer more continental than typical foods, and Kashmiri than local handicrafts of Madhya Pradesh)
But  the most typical situation of this kind of  tourist development,  is  the above- mentioned diffusion of the young lakpas, the real guides and escorts of the tourists of Khajuraho that are traveling  out of the organized tours,  and the real holders of the success of many restaurants and shops, whose activity often can survive only if these impudent  owners of the destiny of Khajuraho send them customers. Working in competition with the poorer autorickshaw drivers and cycles hirers, the lapkas boys  refuse a school that don't seem to offer something. to their future. In this way,  instead  of the studies they follow the tourists  by motorbike or walking,  without every kind of knowledge or of qualification, but  hoping  every kind  of easy settlement of their interest  with the tourists,  by  other sort of real or declaimed appeal. And this is the starting point of the building of different hotels and restaurants of Khajuraho                                                                                                                                             

OUR WARNING ABOUT KHAJURAHO (7 mars 2017)

Khajuraho isn’t only its temples. It 's above all its people and his way of life. During last years two children in Khajuraho have been raped and killed and during last week (in March 2017) one young man killed him self near Chitragupta western temple being night watchman for daily wage. Nobody of the insiders  here take care of the education and of the moral development of the young people, offering them as lapkas only the perspectives of sexual tourism without every kind of instruction and qualification. All happens at the false appeal of Khajuraho as centre of the Temples of Kamasutra , a perspective that isn' t divulged by one only of the historians of art, but first of all, in concurrence with the lapkas, by the hawkers and the authorized local guides that have remained masters of the field, without every kind of respect of the tourist and of the Indian Hindu civilization,  being  more interested to make money by a repulsive entertainment about the flaccid or erect penis and opened or closed vaginas of the erotic couples of the statues of the temples than to make clear their spiritual beauty, of which the sex is at the service, not the opposite. And the authorities of ASI are more and more party to the plot also because they don’ t assure more, in competition, either their handbooks and earphone guides.
