This DAD, we're still hanging out in Medieval India as we discuss the Khajuraho temple complex and the ways its legacy touches on other aspects of Indian (and Hindu) culture and perception. Khajuraho is more than a place where Yelp user Tony M. got a cheap buffet lunch in 2013, and it's certainly much more than the extremely horny 10% of its art. This episode's got math puzzles and mendicants, Western tourists and West Virginia.
