Many temples in India's wall panels contain erotica  email this discussion to a friend?

Khajuraho is a place in the state of Madhya pradesh,India is filled with temples of 10th century.On the wall panels of these temples one can see exquisite sculptures of erotica. Out of these, the most arresting statue of a yogi(mendicant) in the mudra (posture) of SIrsha asana(standing on the head) and passionately engaged in the act of intercourse with three women draws huge crowds.
What's the reason? can any one tell?

erotica in the premises of a sacred temple was an accepted practice of that era. The then society of tenth century believed in celebrating life and was not abashed by public display of erotica

Yeah,the then society of tenth century believed in celebrating life and was not abashed by public display of erotica

I am not an expert on the subject of erotica. My first exposure to such temple sculptures was when I went to Katmandu in Nepal. While it didn't phase me in any way, I thought it unconventional. I have not studied the subject but it would seem to me that it would have something to do with the Kama Sutra. Possibly these erotic drawings, etc., were used to instruct the populace on the art of Kama Sutra itself. Just a thought.


Kama Sutra

myLot reputation of 77/100. arlerambabu (805)  6 years ago

Accoding to Vyatsyayana (author of Kamasutra) without Kama(physical pleasure) one cannot get rid of the Birth and Death cycle and can never hope to attain Moksha (liberation from the eternal cycle of birth and death)

Hence the erotic artistry on the temples....is that correct?

I guess the male fantasy of having intercourse with multiple women is what draws huge crowds to that specific statue.
I recently saw a documentry on the lost temples of south india, which had a small bit about Khajuraho. http://video.google.com/v...
