  • THAT'S STRANGE AND UNBELIVEABLE ONCE I WAS HERE , SAW THE INDIAN GODS NAKED AND HAVING SEX ( INTERCOURSE ) WHILE OTHERS ARE WAITING FOR THEIR TURNS . YOU GO TO SUCH PLACES WITH YOUR FAMILY SUPPOSE YOU HAVE KIDS & THEY SAW SUCH MAN MADE SCULPTURES WHAT QUESTION THEY WILL ASK HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED , THIS HAPPENED WITH ME , GASH I WAS NEVER THERE . PLEASE FOR THE SACK OF OUR WORLD GENERATION HIDE SUCH TEMPLES & GIVE REPECT TO THE MOMENS AS MANS ARE LESS - SHAMFUL . YOU INDIANS JUST WONDER ABOUT YOU FUTURE WHAT EDUCATION YOU ARE GIVING TO YOUR NEXT GENERATION .
  • If anybody see only explicit content in Khajuraho temples then that person must be unaware of the heights of art and human nature. Momems are fool who hate art. Indians are all God and Godess (not now but at the time of such art they were really). Children are not taken there normally. I think you have deliberately made your comment out of bad intentions, ignoring huge porn and explicit content over the internet accessible to everybody, you are blaming simple stone art placed at few rare corners of a hard to reach place.
