Geographical Location Mahoba (25"18'N. 79"53'E.) is one of the few cities in Uttar Pradesh
that has played a leading role in the annals of Rajputs. It is associated
in its rise and fall with the history of Chandella Rajputs who ruled over
'Jejjak-bhukti' (Modern Bundelkhand) from 9th to 14th Centuary A.D..
Mahoba is Situated at the foot of a low granite hill called Gorakh-giri
or 'Gokhar', an offshoot of the Vindhyas. It lies nearly 55 km to the
north of khajuraho, the temple- city of the Chandellas, and about 109
Km distance to the north east of their celeberated fort at Kalinjar.

Mahoba Railway station on the Jhansi-Manikpur section of the central
 Railway also serves as the nearest rail-head for Khajuraho
