Warning Content may offend-Patan Durbar Square

Erotic art of the temple.





The most interesting wood carvings on Nepal temples is the struts and on many temples these carvings include erotic scenes. These scenes are rarely the central carving , , they are usually the smaller carvings at the bottom of the strut, a footnote to the main carving . The themes have a tantric element.
