"Was India ever so liberated ??" Khajuraho by tintinhaddock76

Kahjuraho - temple town

Erotic country ...Khajuraho

All the stories, videos & especially the books and the photos do not do any justice to the beauty and sheer magnificence of the place.
Imagine a town created out of nowhere, sheer imagination of aritsans and their patrons, depiction of life then ...only for the town to be engulfed by the forest for centuries and rediscovered back in the late 1800s.

Temples in the temple area

Lakshmana Temple - dedicated to Vishnu

Kandariya Mahadeva Temple - dedicated to lord Shiva, largest temple

Jagdambi Temple - dedicated to Parvati

Chitragupta Temple - dedicated to Surya

Temple architecture

The temples are symmetrical on the outside with depictions of life of those times.
Abundant eroticism and sexual depictions on the walls to make the most liberated squirm on seeing such depictions on a temple.

Savour the visuals slowly, take a guide and understand the whole temple complex.

Pros and Cons
  • In a nutshell:Photos and videos dont do justice to this place..come here to see how advanced India was in those times, artistically, technically & socially liberated
