The Khajuraho Hindu temples
India
Khajuraho medieval Hindu temples
For Hinduism sex is a virtually metaphysical initiation to the process of endless perpetuation of the cyclical lifespan, by sanctity kept pure and deprived of any malicious intention to devaluate it.
Visiting the legendary and inposing Hindu temples in Khajuraho- a UNESCO world heritage site- you feel the ample serenity of a sanctuary enforcing you to submerse rather in problems of soul than flesh...A strong symbolism of the simplicity of real happiness and prosperity in life...
If you also plan to visit the "nearby" famous sacred city of Varanasi(ancient Benares),visiting Khajuraho is a must as an initiation to those mystical forces with wich hinduism embells its creatures in order to endure what we,the others and perhaps the majority, consider calamity, disaster and absolute loss...
(Because I was asked by many, I have to add that , in this series, initial photography was done in positive-slides FUJI-VELVIA 50 (120 6X4,5) and later scanned to digital with NIKON COOLSCAN 8000 film scanner.)

You write knowingly about Hinduism, my friend - and the series is beautiful and impressive.This image is particularly beautiful with the blue sky, the clear view, and the couple in front. I guess it is from a time when it was not crowded with tourists...
Friendly, Felix
