The Erotic Sculpture of India

The book deals with eroticism in Indian Art and Culture. The common touch mingling with the divine, a characteristic of India life. This common touch may well come, as a surprise to Westerner's who have forgotten what carousals sometimes occurred in Gothic cathedrals. This eroticism doesn't waiver the mind of the follower's of Hindu deities. In fact 'Lingham' of Lord Shiva is seen as the most sacred by his followers. There are certain illustrations in this book showing scenes of divine love-making and human ardours side by side. Art here draws no line between the sacred and the profane. Coming to any conclusion, it will be well to remember that the gods also are only disguises of the primordial spirit.
