nachosaezdeugarte 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Khajuraho is a village in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, located in Chhatarpur District, about 385 miles (620 kilometres) southeast of Delhi, the capital city of India. The Khajuraho group of monuments has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the most popular tourist destinations in India, Khajuraho has the largest group of medieval Hindu and Jain temples, famous for their erotic sculpture. The name Khajuraho, ancient "Kharjuravahaka", is derived from the Sanskrit word kharjur meaning date palm. The Khajuraho temples do not contain sexual or erotic art inside the temple or near the deities; however, some external carvings bear erotic art. Also, some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Link to comment

vicenteconcha 8 Posted June 6, 2009 El erotismo en nuestra cultura ha estado durante mucho tiempo denostado y perseguido, cuando realmente es algo intrinseco de la humanidad. Es una buena muestra de madurez mostrar el erotismo aunque sea en el exterior del templo. Gracias por compartir estas maravillas, Un abrazo y que pases un buen fin de semana. Vicente. Link to comment

aarkp 2 Posted June 9, 2009 Perhaps one of the best photographs I have ever seen of these carvings on this scale. Each panel has received due attention. Stupendous work! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted June 9, 2009 Jose, has to be seen large! very nice details of a beautiful art work of Indian art, visting only Delhi,( on my way from Nepal, quite some years ago) I saw some of this art there too, very colorful. You have well cropped that photo and well converted it to B/W. Stripping out the colors, leaves the viewer with the forms and story. Link to comment
