The Hindus covered their temples with carvings of Mithunas (Lovers); do you feel that this indicates a

degenerate religious or moral view on their part?

- Khajurajo does not degenerate any religious or moral view on their part, in fact there’s an
ancient Text or Indian Sankskrit which is called Kama Sutra. The text is written as a guide to the
"art-of-living" well, the nature of love, finding a life partner, maintaining one's love life, and
other aspects pertaining to pleasure-oriented faculties of human life. Therefore it is part of their
religion and it does not degenerate their moral view, but rather showing the reality of intimacy.

What emotional reactions do you have to the sculpture? Is your reaction a result of cultural attitudes, or
is it universal?

- Upon looking at the sculpture, I felt a little bit awkward at first maybe because of the culture I
am in, but later on I tried to forget the differences of the culture between India and Philippines
and I focused on the message of the art itself, it made me realize that it is the reality because
someday when we get to marry someone with all our heart, we get to experience some things
which were shown in the sculpture.
