Tirupati, India

The next leg of our journey was very civilised, as we didn't seem to be able to get beds on anything other than an air-conditioned sleeper carriage. The cleaning staff were really chatty and friendly in our mostly empty carriage. They warned us about the rats and arranged to pick up a bunch of huge biryani meals for everyone by calling ahead to a station in the evening.

Konark and Puri, India

We happened to arrive in Konark at the end of a day of free admission to the sun temple. Although it was getting too dark to take decent pictures we enjoyed fine views of the sexual sculptures lining the temple walls and of the temple itself, which is designed as if it were a giant chariot for the sun god Surya. The next day we viewed the temple from the perimeter wall to take a few more photos in daylight. Since we didn't get any graphic shots of sex and masturbation good enough to upload, I'm cheating and posting a couple of photos a friend sent us when she visited the other famously sexed-up temple in India.
