Each and every one of the 100 pillars are intricately and aesthetically carved.The embarrasing postures or situations, if any, are not of the deities,main or of other deities.They are at the most the artistic outlet of the sculptors eccentricities.Such sculptures are never found in the most sacred place of a temple the inner sanctum sanctorium where the main deities are enshrined and worshipped.
