In exiting the aircraft at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, it didn’t take long to understand that layers of activity took place consecutively here; and no one layer particularly cared very much about what was going on in the next.
The temple walls
Odissi takes its cues from the Kalinga Hindi temples that fascinatingly intricate and uniquely ornamented. These places of worship were built between the 6th and 13th centuries A.D. Carved in their very structures are sculptures representing a multitude of gods and goddesses, deities, animals and even fantasy creatures. In addition and quite mysteriously on many of their exteriors you will also find a myriad of erotic sculptures and figures in life-like sexually charged poses. Centuries-old pornography or depictions of organic processes, take your pick.
