family deities (apsaras and sura-sundaris, meaning heavenly nymphs), shown
dancing in various postures and often attired and bedecked in jewelry);
secular scenes (rulers, warriors and hunters, acrobats, dancers, musicians,
domestic scenes, and teachers and disciples); animals (camels, elephants,
horses; mithunas; and erotic. Like all other sculptures in Khajuraho, the
ones in Kandriya Mahadeva were done by unnamed artists.)
