Khajuraho II : WOMAN

Khajuraho

The sculptures at Khajuraho depict only one part of a woman’s life. May be the Chandella kings, who commissioned those temples and sculptures, whished so. Also there is not much variety and same or similar themes repeat themselves in all the temples.

I have read some books, which say erotic sculptures are found not inside the temples but only on their outside walls. The devotees must leave their worldly passions behind and only then appear before the gods, they suggest. That is not true. We have seen erotic sculptures inside Kandariya-Mahadeva temple and the Lakshmana temple.
