Close up of the intricate patterned panels with carvings depicting everyday scenes and explicit erotic behaviour on the exterior of the Kandariya Mahadev Temple. Both the interior and the exterior are exquisitely carved with figures of a sexual nature that have intrigued visitors through the ages. Stone figures of sensual celestial maidens and nubile beauties appear here in great profusion, as do erotic figures of men and women.
