I haven't read much about this but if it's like the Brits in India then the laws were probably made to be compatible with local customs on the matters of gay shit.

I say mugayl but khajuraho isn't much better.
I'll never understand what possessed medieval tards to stuff temples with shit like that. That they are still the most beautiful temples I've seen is just salt on the wound.

Degen stuff in Hindu Temples is well known but I don't think they reflected the broader culture. I guess arty types always had a degenerate streak in them across cultures throughout human history

I doubt there was much artistic freedom, thousands of people worked with more or less the same art style towards a state funded project it wasn't like the Euros being able to do whatever and finding rich customers afterwards. Nobility was turbo degenerate.
When I was in Konark this guide was explaining to some goras that Ashoka built the place(
) after the Kalinga war to teach the people of the region how to repopulate it.

Though I've found myself in similar situations and its hard to point out they're wrong lol. Like a guard at Jaipur fort gave me a tour for free for some reason and he was telling me how some cannon made people deaf for kms around, could be heard as far as Delhi and cracked the Earth and it was a hard struggle not to
when he was after all doing me a favour and seemed to mean it unironically.

I had one guy tell me it was spirits that helped build The Srinrangam temple complex arguing it would be impossible to build something that massive without modern construction equipment.
