In February 1838, Captain T.S. burt of the bengal engineers hears from one of his palanquin bearers about 'the wonder of a place called Khajrao'. Burt, intrigued by the description, travels by palanquin from Chattarpur to Khajuraho to see for himself. His journal published in 1839 gives us an account of what he saw on that historic day and this is the first description of khajuraho. In 1940 the archaeological survey of India acquired the land and introduced a systematic conservation programme to protect and restore the temples.
