Khajuraho 2017: Exploring Erotica in 'Anti-Romeo' India


Khajuraho, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, is now a quiet village. I visited MP last month for a destination wedding shoot with 'We Don't Say Cheese', a team of wedding photographers.

Having worked with them previously, I knew this was going to be a fun trip. The interesting part being that I got to visit Khajuraho temples especially when the definition of sexuality is becoming more and more limited these days, not to forget "The Anti-Romeo Squad". I was exploring these temple which are known for their nagara-style architectural symbolism and their erotic sculptures. I repeat, erotic sculptures (!)

I thought of writing this blog when I saw this news the other day that states "Bajrang Dal Wants Kamasutra Booklets Banned At Temple That's Visual Testimony To India's Erotic Past" So, as the title suggests, Bajrang dal members says that Kamasutra can't be sold in "sacred premises", which offcourse is one of UNESCO world heritage site depicting India's culture and tradition.

The entry for the temple area, off course came with extra charges for our cameras and gadgets, because Photographers!! Khajuraho Temples are a treat to the eye.

Conjuring up images of timeless beauty and serenity and not giving a shit of whatever is said about Khajuraho Temples. It's a place one MUST visit in a lifetime. It depicts of India’s richest past and traditional legacies. Obviously not getting into the history of the temples and place (google it for your reference) Scroll down for the photographs.

Not sure what Bajrang Sena has to say about these.

You see? These are not just for depictions of making out in the medieval India but these sculptures on the outer walls of the temples are purely dedicated to the art of love as depicted in the Kamasutra which is made immortal through these beautiful carvings.

These photographs are glimpses of the temples as we had no time to explore it in detail. Go, visit Khajuraho and witness this! Thanks, Hera and Aseem! It wouldn't be possible without you guys. Let's do this again.

Until next time. Xx.

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap-Berlinintim away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

Having the emirates airlines head office address is highly helpful for anyone who needs to visit or get in touch with the airline. The headquarters is easily accessible from most parts of the city because it is situated in Al Garhoud, Dubai, close to Dubai International Airport. Visitors can easily arrive thanks to local public transportation and strong road links. Knowing the address makes it easier for passengers, customers, and business associates to get to the appropriate location fast for meetings, assistance, or formal airline-related issues.
