| | Love, The Living Spirit of Khajuraho |
 | | Khajuraho temples have both, a meaningfully sculpted body and its enshrining spirit and this spirit is love, which gives them their spiritual unity and great mysticism - the theme for the senses and as much for the soul. |
 | | The Khajuraho sculptor did not believe in confining love to sanctum sanctorum, as to him, what lighted the shrine within, could as well illumine without; what defined the essence of gods, could not be adverse to man; and, if it elevated the self, its physical manifestation will not pollute the flesh too. |
 | | Khajuraho sculptor discovered in woman the gamut of his theme, as she was to him not only love's prime means, which was his main theme and primary concern, but also the finest of God's creation. |
