  • Art historians often use the term "erotic iconography" to describe the sculpted figures of amorous couples commonly found around the entrances of many Buddhist temples.
  • These figures, depicting various forms of love, intimacy, or sensuality, are part of the temple's ornamentation and often symbolize aspects of human relationships, desire, or spiritual connections within the context of Buddhist beliefs and teachings.
