Since I pointed out that I have seen erotic images of deities in the temple friezes of Goa, let me provide some pictoral evidence of this from the famous Kamat's Potpouri website: http://www.kamat.org/picsearch.asp?search=Erotica&PageNo=1 I remember having seen such images in at least a couple of Goan temples, the Mahalaxmi temple in Bandoda most likely being one of them. In the above weblink Kamat provides 169 photographs of erotic temple images from many temples dispersed all over India, including the Partagal temple in Goa. You will find pictures from temples in Bhatkal, Hosanagar, Barsur, Nad-Kalse, Ikkeri, Bhuvaneshwar, etc. displaying a wide range of erotica. Cheers, Santosh
