Temple of love and its forbidden tales! #Haiku #Khajuraho #Japanese Click To Tweet

This Haiku is inspired by the pictures of the temples at Khajuraho. What intrigues me is that the temples speak of such open intimacy of those times and yet it is a taboo to have open conversations in modern times.

A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five; traditionally evoking images of the natural world

    I think the problem is not open conversations about intimacy, but intimacy in public that makes people uncomfortable.

      Hi Vishal, happy to have you over on Drishti…

      I wish it was that way Vishal… alas… people are just too prudish… I posted an article from Drishti (written on The Act of Kissing) on one of the FB groups – the article had nothing crude, vulgar or lewd… it was a well researched piece on the subject… and I was shocked at the reactions I got from people in that group who even threatened to throw me out of there… as if I posted porn… I stopped posting articles in that group because obviously it wasn’t worth sharing good stuff with such a group of folks… who perhaps were even reproducing without being intimate!!
      Anyways, I hope I have been able to get my point across to you… 🙂

      Cheers buddy and do keep visiting us… happy to get your comment 🙂

        It sucks when people think of themselves as moral police and everyone else as bigots. It won’t be surprising if the small-minded people who tried to demean your post themselves indulge in porn and infidelity. By the way, I really liked that post… it became quite popular… though I didn’t comment 🙂

        Thanks for the warm welcome Archana 🙂

          Comment or no comment, as long as you liked reading it and it brought a smile to your face, I think it was a job well done 🙂 Btw, that was written by my husband Desh… all these researched pieces on off-beat topics are totally his brain child… 🙂

          btw – those people even told me that I was posting someone else’s vulgar article… and said, “consider this as the first strike… you have two more to go”… like I would lose my life if they threw me out of that group… anyway – I politely said that it was written by my husband and we write jointly on Drishti… and I officially share the pieces and asked them to fish off even more politely, as I didn’t need them or their views… ROFL!!!! So the porn-watching moral police can take a walk and enjoy it too!!! 🙂

          Thanks Vishal… 🙂

      That’s what Kamasutra is for – guide to these sculptors 😀 It ain’t as if they created something and left you in the lurch.. they also provided the “Dummies Guide” to the whole process, if you will. 🙂

      Well – that they don’t talk openly about things that must be discussed leads to a lot of crimes against women which are heinous… unfortunately…

    Nice haiku.
    Interestingly only 10% of the carvings are sexual or erotic, rest 90% of the art work at the temple is about daily life and symbolic values in ancient Indian culture.

    a lovely haiku though speaks a lot of what we are .. something to think about .. on a tangent the ban on porn what will the govt do to this “ART” form .. had the ban gone through

    Khajuraho , there are so many memories in my mind of year 2000 when we visited there with my friends of my Engineering College and did not pay 2days payments to the govt hotel. These pictures are rare and have a lot of history . Haikyu is very suitable to the picture Archana Ji !!
