Rajeshji, i haven't been to Khajuraha but visited Konark last year. most of the structure have been destroyed/damaged by supercyclone of 1999. whatever little remains can be explored by touch and no bar is there to touch them. yes, indeed, the descriptions are hard to come up with; even my wife (newly married, for your info smiles) was shocked to see those, so, describing them was impossible for her. but, whatever little tactyle contact i could make, one can understand clearly the carvings (not cravings, by any chance, hahahahahaha), and, indeed, they were damn explicite! one more hinderence is there, that is, the height. some of the statues, perhaps the more explicit ones, are placed so high that they could hardly be touched. nevertheless, give it a go in Konark.
