One can see scenes of different posture and position of sexual union among eighty four posture of sexual union in the struts of temples of Nepal. From this openly exposed scene of sexual union in the street, modern man may learn a great deal from this ancient source that sex is truth; sex is founder of living creature. So need not keep in secret out of sight seeing such erotic scenes the man who are neuter can take active part in sexual union in the ancient time.
Apart from the struts in temple, erotic motifs are also fount in small panels attached to railings .They also occurs in the arched brackets of open verandha.

It is however significant those erotic scenes are connected with the Shiva temples because he is god of creation. One can see erotic scenes in Jaganath temple in front of hanuman dhoka palace the residence of malla Kings of Nepal. Gyaneswor mahadeva temple, pashupati Vashuki temple, Naxal Bhagawati bahal and manju dewal of Maruhiti Tole.

The Maithun indicate meditation on the act of creation symbolize in the form of shiva and shakti. It is stated that creation results from the male and female. The erotic scenes in the temple come to one’s scenes the whole world of living beings is the offshoot of sexual creation. Tantric creed implies that an act of coition should be viewed and practiced as an act of creation with which every being is born for the sake of multiplying oneself.
In front of budhanilkantha , there is a special temple named “Rati” where one can see truth, virtue, reality and creature of living beings.
In Nepal , there is a unique and strange practice of paying homage and worshipping in the symbolic phallus of Lord Shiva.The beautiful and young married and unmarried girls worship and bow down touching their head in the symbolic phallus or penis to obeisance the God.

At the same time the rishis with anger cursed to fell down in the ground Phallus of lord Shiva . Shiva Linga is the same phallus of lord Shiva fall down due to the course of Rishis along with the female sex organ of the wife of Rishis. Shiva linga is distinct image of the symbol of lord shiva ‘s phallus relaxing in the female sexual passage.
Shiva means Lord Shiva & Linga means his phallus or the male organ of generation. Similarly ‘ Guhya’ means vagina the female sexual organ and ‘Shwori’ means goddess.

Male and female devotees worship this hole as symbolic of a female organ.
