If it’s not apparent from the title, this post features sculptures of a graphic nature. If you tend toward the puritanical, turn back now or be introduced to the wild side of ancient Indian sexual positions.
I love the theme of covering one’s eyes–just not all that carefully.

I’m a neophyte with respect to Hindu iconography–plus I read no Indian languages, so I may be wrong about this being a Shiva. Shiva is usually depicted clean-shaven, but I’ve seen bearded images. I mostly based my conclusion on the tiger skin (or stylized representation thereof) that he’s sitting on, which is often associated with Shiva.
Shiva is part of the Hindu trinity, which also includes Brahma (the creator) and Vishnu (the sustainer.) This leaves Shiva, the destroyer.
If you’re someone who actually knows about such things, and know I’m wrong, please drop me a comment to let me know.
