Life Used to Be More Fair

As you can see from the recurring theme in the two images above, this blog will not be appropriate for children. Hindu art is rife with these prurient depictions, shocking! My sensibilities are all atwitter. The following is a snippet of a recent conversation between two leading art critics here in Delhi.

David: Why is it that all the females of Hindu antiquity had large perfectly round breasts?
Lee: Back then life was fair.

The image on the left is from a temple sculpture now in the Madhya Pradesh State Museum and the one on the right is from the Sun Temple in Gwalior.
