Khajuraho village is a bit off the beaten track but well worth a trek 600 kms [385 miles] south-east of Delhi. It's a magnificently calm UNESCO World Heritage Site of gorgeously proportioned and fascinating Hindu and Jain temples.
The temples were built around 1,000 AD and 25 remain out of 80 - many were destroyed by Muslim invaders in later years - in an area of 21 sq kms [8 sq miles].

Only 10% of sculptures on these temples are adorned with excitable bodies, and none of them have erotic themes inside the structures, only outside. Furthermore, those participating are clearly not deities, just regular, well-developed mortals - who have few inhibitions.

Sorry viewers, Google, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that pictures of 1,000 year old Indian erotic sculptures are bad for the mental health of visitors. We have submitted to the greater power and removed three exquisite images.
