Erotic art


 Lonely Planet warns, 'don't bring your kids to these places.' It lists the places and those were the very places I wanted to see. As we meander in and around the temple complex, my guide pointed out to me the erotic images. He said, these were from the karma sutra. In Hinduism, kids are bethrothed at a very young age and when they are ready to consummate their relationship, they have no clue what to do. So they are brought to the temples and taught from the karma sutra. It takes the eroticism out of the karma sutra, it's actually a sex manual.
