Abstract	As such, there is no dearth of temples in India and every temple has some different characteristics attached to them. Some are known for their special rituals, some are known for the creation of temples, some are known for the mythology associated with them, and others for something special in those temples. Similarly, if you see such idols made in many temples here, where sexuality is being displayed, then it will not be surprising. These are also part of those temples. There are many ancient temples in India in which many erotic idols are displayed in stones. Some people see it from a progressive point of view, some sexuality, some people even consider it rude. It is true that these carvings are very bold, incorporating many ancient ideologies which have seen sex as a way to reach the 'spirituality of spirituality'. Most of these temples follow the tradition of Tantric learning, according to which sensual pleasure acts as a divine energy and it forms the spiritual path to reach God. If you have ever inspected such a temple, you will see that such idols are only on the outer walls of the temple. According to some researchers, these mean that any man should put an end to all his lustful desires before entering the temple and he can only do so when he has experienced it. There is no doubt that these idols, these signs have that charm! Khajuraho Temple Chandravarman chose Khajuraho to build such temples. Making it his capital, he performed a huge yagna of 85 altars here. Later 85 temples were built in place of these altars, which were continued by the kings of the Chandel dynasty. Today, out of 85, there are only 22 temples left. The period of creation came to an end with the departure of the Chandelas from Khajuraho in the 14th century. The Khajuraho temple is primarily known as a temple in India that has carved many erotic sculptures, meaning that the temples of Khajuraho bear their erotic idols.
