Sculpture and Stuff

Phew...so after a few wordy entries here are some visuals of the sculpture and painted murals that I ogled during my last few weeks in India...

Khajuraho: saris and temples

Khajuraho: ancient rudies. The temples are famed for their erotic sculpture which decorates the outside of many a temple

Khajuraho: See here: the woman on the left is modestly bathing, then a couple across and you can make out a woman picking a thorn out of her foot with some assistance, and then on the far right a woman picks up a child. Incredible detail Incredible India!

Ajanta Caves: a mural depicting Padmapani of course!

Ellora caves: super old rock-cut temples

Ellora caves: goddess with peacock and kid learning in the corner
