Most temples are dedicated either to Vishnu, the premium god of the Vaishnavist sect or to Shiva, the premium god of the Shaivite sect. But this small one is dedicated to Shiva's wife, Parvati. There is pure beauty and no perversion in these temples. The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and the same object may appear differently to different people and so if indeed these temples represent the social life at the time, one must be proud of the land of abundance that was India.
