There was an article in the Toronto Star, on the sculptures at Khajuraho, India.

Here’s a quote from the article:
“But whatever the reason, the sculptures and the temples never fail to overwhelm tourists with their beauty and their explicit sexual content. The sculptures capture a time in India’s history when sensuality, sexuality and spirituality were all entwined, local experts said.
“The same is not the case today, said New Delhi resident Indira Wadhwa, a tour leader for Intrepid Travel, an Australian travel company that specializes in Southeast Asia. The influence of Muslim and Mogul rulers greatly changed the way Hinduism is practised in modern times, she said.
“The connection between sensuality, sexuality and spirituality that is depicted so strongly in these erotic temples has been lost in much of modern Hinduism, Wadhwa said.”
We’ll be exploring the link between sexuality and spirituality in the next issue of ITC.
