En route to our next stop we checked out a few temples, the Nagda temples and the Eklingji temples.
The Nagda temple was very interesting and had been abandoned for many centuries. And indeed had very few visitors.
But it is in a very beautiful lakeside setting.....
It's temples were built in the 8th, 9th and 10th century! And if the guide was to be believed then all the fantastic carvings depicted scenes from the Kama Sutra! Kama apparently means sex or sexual pleasure in Hindi!
After looking closely at the carvings we did not doubt him!
The exterior carvings had survived 1000+ years of weathering remarkably well but we found that the interiors were also covered totally with carvings
which were a little difficult to see as it was rather dark and gloomy inside the temple...
The Eklingji temple
was only a few kms away but it was definitely not abandoned. It had a steady stream of worshippers.
It is a complex of over 100 temples and as many monkeys!
