In enlarge image we see good detail......

Beautiful depiction of Shalabhanjika, woman breaking tree branch. Maybe this is just a depiction of female beauty, or it can be a spring ritual of bringing the trees to blossom. It is said that if a beautiful woman kicks a tree and breaks the branch, it arouses the tree to blossom.

Nice & interesting page.

Beautiful!

Ishan Sinha notice. no bra.

did mention hes rising from the river in previous comment and no bra yes...but isnt Shiva the Lord of Tantra..?Hell ne almost naked himself...and so are most the hardcore Shavaite Yogis-fully naked to this day...and Some authors hold that "Salabhanjika, as young girl at the foot of a tree, is based on an ancient tree deity related to fertility." and guess what the lingam stands for? yes -FERTILITY? anyway fail to see any signs of erotica on this one...to his his own I guess..cheers.
