Kamasutra Legacy in India

Do you want to see the kamasutra inscriptions carved on stone, then visit Khajuraho with a thousand and one kamasutra temples just south of the Taj Mahal.

(from wiki..)
The city was once the original capital of the Chandela Rajputs, a Hindu dynasty that ruled this part of India from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The Khajuraho temples were built over a span of a hundred years, from 950 to 1050

On your way to Khajuraho stop in the Gwaylor Fort

on the way to Khajuraho from the Taj Mahal you should stop in Gwaylor to check out the Huge Fort (it can be viewed from the train but it is better if you adventure and walk it)

Gwalior located in Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The historic city of Gwalior is its administrative headquarters.

The Fort (from wiki..)
Standing on a steep mass of sandstone, Gwalior Fort dominates the city and is its most significant monument. It has been the scene of momentous events, imprisonment, battles and jauhars . A steep road winds upwards to the fort, flanked by statues of the Jain tirthankaras, carved into the rock face. The magnificent outer walls of the fort still stand, two miles in length and 35 feet high, bearing witness to its reputation for being one of the most invincible forts of India. This imposing structure inspired Emperor Babur to describe it as " the pearl amongst the fortresses of Hind ".
