You’ve got these wonderful carvings on the wall…
If you look closely you can see a female form. Apparently these tortures are carried out if you commit adultery and then what happens is… after you go through the torture you’re then dumped in water or you’re burned alive. And on the next level, in the spiritual context… you look for remorse and forgiveness and through that you’re reborn again.
This looks like a very special part of the Temple, where women who have not fallen pregnant or want to become pregnant, they would come and pray to this particular Goddess…
But it’s not only about falling pregnant, it’s also about courtship… on this side you have a woman in the corner and on the other side, the opposite side, is a man; and part of the courtship process, if a girl likes a boy or if a boy likes a girl, a boy would go to the man and he would make arrangements with the girl’s family to meet up.
