INDIA : Khajuraho main road

Posted by Sian August - 31 - 2009 - Monday

Photo from the book Toilets of the World by Morna E. Gregory and Sian James. Pink tent outhouse in Khajuraho, India.

Temporary toilet tents are erected using flashy pink silk reminiscent of the exquisite saris worn by the women of India. These have been set up for Khajuraho’s annual celebration of its ancient erotic temples. The two toilet tents emit the distinct smell of curry spices. The men’s contains a concrete slab with a small hole, placed over a dugout with two tiny footpads on either side. The women’s toilet is nothing more than a shallow indent in the ground.
