Khajuraho is a celebration of life in all forms. For a tourist or a traveler, it remains another memento on the travelogue of life. Yet another nirvana. A small matter of perspective.

By simple analysis, erotic depiction seems to have been considered mangala or auspicious, though its stark and profuse presence could be a reflection of the social climate of the times. Probably an attitude where love or alankara and erotic sentiment or sringara were the leisure of affluence. With more leisure, more affluence and with the affluent influencing art, the excessive use of erotica could be explained.

Hi Sudip.
The subject is very interesting. This workshop is just to try make the image more alive, bringing out the images in the stone.
Here's what I did using photoshop CS:
1- correct the verticallity of the image;
2- crop;
3- add some contrast;
4- sharp;
5- add frame;
6- resize the picture.

I hope you like it. Let me know if you find it useful.
Best regards,
Márcio Costa
