The most famous erotic sculpture in the world is certainly that of the Hindu temples of India (See P. Rawson, "Erotic Art of the East"). Most of the best examples were created in the North between the ninth and thirteen centuries A.D., and in the South between the sixth and seventeenth centuries A.D. The sculptures show every imaginable form of sexual activity - different coital positions, oral sex, masturbation, rape, bestiality, etc.

Many temples still used for worship make use of immense wooden-wheeled chariots or "cars," constructed after the pattern of the temples, with high canopies and spires. The chariots are used to carry the sacred images during the festivals, and they are adorned with the same sorts of erotic scenes as are the temples themselves. The carvings, elaborate and meticulously executed, show all forms of sexual behaviour.
