As everybody knows that the term tourism is not familiar for every
indian resident therefore first of all government has to make people

dust rose from the mud road, almost blinding our path as we took a detour
from the highway. It was a mausoleum amidst the dry fields that had drawn my
attention. Earlier in the day, as I was leaving Khajuraho, Mamaji, the
erudite scholar and my guide had handed over a small piece of paper in my
hands. “You must see these places on the way to Orchha. Tell the driver, he
will understand,” he said as I scanned the paper, scrawled with a mix of
English and Hindi words with some directions.
Mamaji was unlike any other guide I had met. We had spoken on for hours about almost every aspect of the temples in Khajuraho, be it history, legends or tantrism. In impeccable English, he stuck to facts but his interpretations and pet theories would often be backed by historic claims as well. And as he walked with us, his 40 years of experience in tourism was evident, but not his 67 years of age. So when Mamaji handed over the paper to me, I decided that I must stop over at the places he mentioned.
