Based on the research of scholar and author Dr. Devangana Desai, this documentary presents an intelligent and adult perspective on the ancient temples of Khajuraho, which have been misrepresented for over three centuries in the West as vulgar and obscene depictions of human desire. By tracing the philosophy behind the architecture, this program transcends religion and eroticism. It traces Tantrism, a sect of Hinduism that believed in Shakti, or the female energy being the key element of structure in the cosmos, which helps explain the female figures in and around the temples.
