A view of a temple complex. These temples were built between 930 and 1100. These temples are outstanding even without the erotic images found here and there along the walls. Some of them are quite shocking, and most involve attendants helping the loving couple attain difficult positions.
When you look at the temples from below, you think of spaceships or computer circuitry. there is something uber modern about the design and I wonder if the Art Deco folks ever saw the decorative work on the temples.
A sunrise? Palm tree? Whatever, something very modern about the design.
This snap from below doesn’t begin to show the detailed circuitry at the top of the temple After the figures, which adorn the bottom half, complex patterns decorate the top.
A guard insisted on taking my photo in front of the temple. I had to suck up to some of our group members to ditch him.
See if you can locate the dirty bits.
A closeup of a simple tryst.
