FairfieldLife/message/246005 Curtis: > The erotic art of South Indian temples... > The Khajuraho images are not based on the 'Kama Sutra' or on the 'Tantras'. None of the images depict tantric imagery. The images are simply depictions of erotic art from the Gupta Age in India.
The Khajuraho temples do not contain sexual or erotic art inside the temple or near the deities, therefore they are not considered to be Tantric icons. The carvings indicate that instead of being Tantric, simply indicate that for the visitor, they must leave their sexual desires outside the temple doors.
