"The temples at Khajuraho were built during the Chandella dynasty, which reached its apogee between 950 and 1050. Only about 20 temples remain; they fall into three distinct groups and belong to two different religions – Hinduism and Jainism. They strike a perfect balance between architecture and sculpture. The Temple of Kandariya is decorated with a profusion of sculptures that are among the greatest masterpieces of Indian art."

Inside Gupteshwar cave in Pokhara, Nepal. In keeping with a rather foul and inconvenient habit in India and in Nepal, the locals have made a Hindu temple out of it. The temple is pretty large but sadly, or rather exasperatingly, photography was prohibited, which was another big turn off for me. Conversion of the cave system into a temple, also means chaos, confusion, the stuffy air inside wafting with the smell of camphor and incense and you being not able to appreciate the natural wonder and features of the cave itself. Add it it a never ending stream of visitors in a cramped ad claustrophobic and slippery place, I was happy to get out of there as quickly as possible. Mercifully the authorities have built this rather wide- if slippery- staircase for visitors leaving the cave, so as to not choke the entrance with it's never ending stream of local tourists, so I was much happier on the way out than I was on the way in. India too has this exasperating habit of converting many caves and remote places into places of worship, meaning unending prayer rituals and photography restrictions, and visitors not being able to appreciate the natural beauty of these places. I skipped looking at the David's Falls which run into this cave as that spot was narrow, deep, pitch dark and slippery and most of all crowded. There was not temple extension there fortunately but it was too dangerous to go there with all those crowds and confusion there. (Pokhara, Nepal, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
Kirateshwar Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple, identified to be a Hindu pilgrimage site which is located at Legship, West Sikkim, India along the banks of River Rangeet., which has many mythological episodes of the Mahabharata attached to it. The temple is also known as Kirateshwar Mahadev Thaan or simply known as Shiv Mandir by the local people.
MAIN ATTRACTION
The main attraction of the temple are the festival of the Bala Chaturdesi, which is observed in November-December every year and the Shiv Ratri also known as Maha Shivaratri which falls in the month of February or March every year. There are other temples dedicated to Lord Rama and Durga can be found here making it an important pilgrimage destination for Hindus.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
According to the Hindu mythology, pleased with Arjuna's hard penance and devotion, Lord Shiva appeared before him in the very spot where the temple lies as a Kirat or hunter and blessed him with success in the Mahabharat War. Long time ago as the people found miraculously existed a stone manifesting Shiva Ling. The said Shiv Ling is the main effigy of worship. Belief of many that a mere visit with true devotion to this temple fulfills one’s wishes particularly a wish for son or daughter and also wishes for peace harmony and good health.

A selfie in front of the replica Pashupatinath Temple in the Bhaktapur Durbar Square in Bhaktapur, Nepal. This temple is a replica of the original Pashupatinath Temple at Kathmandu. (see my Kathmandu album- I could not photograph the original from close quarters due to entry and photography restrictions there). This replica Pashupatinath temple in Bhaktapur is also known as the Yaksheswar Mahadev temple More notes about this replica Pashupatinath temple appeared earlier in this album. (see previous picture). I do not recall my local Bhaktapur guide mentioning the name of this temple, probably as my main guide had told him about my limited interest in temples. Thank goodness I found this information later, online. (Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Nepal, Oct/ Nov 2019)
Pissed enough as I was, thanks to my not being to appreciate the natural beauty of the Gupteshwar Mahadev cave in Pokhara Nepal, thanks to the locals having made a temple out of it, resulting in much religious fanfare and hullabaloo, and photography restrictions, with the never ending stream of visitors and the sheer bedlam inside the cave adding to my irritation, adding to my woes was the fact that It was pretty steep back climbing up to ground level. The heavy dSLR around my neck was only making matters worse. I was completely out of steam- I don't do well with stairs and steep climbs anyway My good guide tries to humour me by taking this shot of me huffing and puffing my way back up the stairs.

En Khajuraho se encuentra el mayor conjunto de templos hinduistas de India, famosos por sus esculturas eróticas. Los templos están considerados por la UNESCO como Patrimonio de la Humanidad, desde el año 1986. El nombre de la ciudad proviene de la palabra Kajur que en idioma hindi significa "palmera datilera". Entre los siglos X y XII fue la capital religiosa de los Chandella, una dinastía que gobernó esta parte de la India y a la que se les debe estas construcciones.
Los templos se construyeron en un espacio de tiempo de unos cien años, entre el 950 y el 1050. Toda la zona está amurallada, con ocho puertas que permiten la entrada al recinto. Cada una de estas puertas está flanqueada por dos palmeras. Originalmente había unos 80 templos de los que quedan 22 en buen estado de conservación. Toda la zona ocupa un área total de 21 km². Tal vez por encontrarse en una zona poco habitual para la construcción de templos (lejos del Ganges), consiguieron sobrevivir a la destrucción masiva de elementos hinduistas llevada a cabo por el Imperio Mogol musulmán. Poco a poco los templos fueron quedando abandonados y permanecieron ocultos en medio de la vegetación. Fueron redescubiertos en 1838 por el capitán I. S. Burt, ingeniero del ejército británico.
Los templos están situados sobre plataformas elevadas, de una anchura considerable, pensadas para facilitar el paseo ritual alrededor del templo que deben realizar los fieles antes de entrar a orar. Las torres de los templos se elevan sobre estas plataformas, dando una sensación de verticalidad si se observan desde lejos. Están orientados según los puntos cardinales, estando la entrada en dirección Este para facilitar la entrada de la primera luz solar. Fueron construidos con bloques de granito y arenisca roja traídos especialmente hasta la zona. Las uniones de los diferentes bloques se realizaron mediante abrazaderas metálicas. Las paredes de los templos de Khajuraho tienen una forma ondulada ya que están formadas por numerosos salientes. Además, los muros están divididos en franjas horizontales mediante molduras y bajorrelieves.
Las esculturas que decoran los templos de Khajuraho se pueden clasificar en cinco tipos diferentes. Por un lado están los dibujos geométricos y florales, utilizados en los techos, molduras y en la decoración de las columnas. Otro tipo de esculturas son las que representan la vida de la corte, como los bailes o la música, así como actividades cotidianas o la guerra. Un tercer grupo está compuesto por las figuras de animales, que suelen estar colocadas en las molduras exteriores e inferiores de los templos. Las imágenes de dioses y diosas forman el cuarto grupo y suelen estar situadas al fondo del templo o en los nichos situados en diferentes enmarcaciones por las fachadas de los templos. Finalmente se encuentran las figuras femeninas y las que representan a parejas amatorias.
No se sabe a ciencia cierta cuál fue el motivo por el que los templos se decoraron con diversos motivos eróticos. Algunos estudiosos creen que la decoración tenía un motivo educativo: enseñar el Kāmasūtra a los más jóvenes; para otros, los templos son un homenaje al matrimonio entre Śiva y Pārvātī.
Los 22 templos que aún quedan en pie están distribuidos en tres grupos: Oeste, Este y Sur.
En el grupo del Oeste destacan: el Templo Lakshmana (año 954) dedicado a Vişņu; el Templo Varāha, dedicado a la encarnación del dios Vişņu en forma de jabalí; el Templo Matangesvara, dedicado al dios Śiva; el Templo Visvanatha (950-1002) dedicado a Śiva; el Templo Nandi (950-1002) comparte plataforma con el de Visvanatha, y en su interior se encuentra una estatua del toro Nandi, que sirve de montura al dios Śiva; el Templo Kandariya Mahadeva (1025), dedicado a Śiva consta de 872 estatuas diferentes; el Templo Devi Jagadambi (1000), dedicado a Pārvātī, y el Templo Chitragupta (1010), dedicado a Sūrya, dios del sol.
El grupo del Este está compuesto por tres templos hinduistas y tres jainistas. Y de ellos cabe destacar el Templo Parsvanatha, dedicado al 23 Tirthankara Jaina, y el Templo de Adinatha, dedicado al primer Tirthankara Jaina.
El grupo del Sur está situado a un kilómetro del grupo Este y consta de dos templos de pequeño tamaño: el Templo Duladeo, decorado con esculturas eróticas, y el Templo Chaturbhuja que contiene una estatua de Vişņu de tres metros de altura.
Gokarna is a village development committee in Kathmandu District in the Bagmati Zone of central Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 7,508 with 1,768 households.
In the village on the banks of the Bagmati River stands the Gokarna Mahadev temple. It is one of the oldest temple in Nepal contemporary to the Changu Narayan Temple. This temple is of great historical, cultural and archeological importance. It is built in the Newari pagoda style with three tiers and is dedicated to Shiva in the form of Mahadev, the Great God.
Worth the mention and the main reason to go to this temple is the wealth of sculptures of the many different Hindu deities. These fine stone carvings are definitely worth a closer look. Some of them are dated back to the Licchavi Dynasty (C 450–750).
We can explore:
Aditya - the sun god
Brahma and Chandra - the moon god
Indra - the elephant-borne god of war and weather
Ganga - with a pot on her head from which pours the Ganges
Vishnu - as Narsingha
Shiva - as Kamadeva, the god of love - and many other forms
Gauri Shankar - with elements of Shiva and Parvati
Brahma - with four heads
In late August or early September people go to this temple to bath and make offerings in honor of their fathers, living or dead, on a day called Gokarna Aunsi.
