Erotic
woodcarving in Nepal
Roger Blench
The
temple complexes in the Kathmandu
Valley are marked by the
unfortunate practice of carving figures engaged in questionable practices on
the supporting roof-struts of individual buildings. The Lonely Planet guides
warn of the potentially harmful moral impact on children and thoughtfully list
individual buildings to be avoided. It is true that the images can really only
be seen with a zoom lens, but technology has a habit of becoming accessible. In
this spirit, these pages provide a more detailed visual guide to images that
may corrupt and deprave.
