About this
Book
This is a book about the erotic art of Nepal in its various
forms. It is also a book about the Kathmandu valley, its strange,
mysterious, magical and enchanting powers.
Whether we speak of the odd-looking, carved stone representations
at Pashupatinath, or the colourful wooden imagery that is found
on many of the temples of the valley, you are sure to be completely
surprised in more ways than one.
* What do these exotic and erotic art forms really represent?
* Why have such images been placed on the external structure
of so many sacred temples?
* Who do these erotic depictions serve?
This book goes a long way to providing an insight into these
questions. It gives us glimpses of life depicted as explicitly
as it may without hurting the sentiments of more conservative
societies.
"This 'naughtiness' of Nepalese art may send blushes to
the furthest periphery of your senses. If you like your art to
be saucy, sexy and straight to the point, read on. Please remember,
this is a serous book!"
