Khajuraho Group of Monuments by Clyde

I visited this WHS in January 2012. The Western Group of Temples includes several temples with erotic carvings but also carvings depicting hunting, battles, warriors, gods, etc. They are very well kept although some of the restoration works were quite dubious and not totally loyal to the original. The Eastern Group of Temples is less visited by tourists and there are more locals worshipping the gods there since there is no entrance fee. I was surprised that these temples were still being used as a place of worship till nowadays. This WHS really deserves to be inscribed in the list and shouldn't be merely described as a group of erotic temples because it is much more than that.
