Lonely Planet review for Erotic Elephants Temple

Just before you enter the square, pause for a little bit of Newari humour. On your right, perhaps 70m before the main Durbar Sq entrance gate, is a tiny double-roofed Shiva Parvati temple ( M045E) with some erotic carvings on its temple struts. Among the series of copulating animals are elephants in the missionary position with their trunks entwined in pleasure! It's a hathi (elephant) Kamasutra.
