2. Khajuraho Temple
Khajuraho, another tantric site in central India, is
dramatically different from all the places mentioned so
far -it consists of more than a dozen temples, whose walls
are covered with erotic statues of yogis and yoginis
performing various tantric mudras. Due to its sensual
appeal Khajuraho has been overrun by tourists from India
and abroad, so you may not encounter tantrics at this site
today.

3. Ujjain Temple
Like Banaras, the city of Ujjain in central India is a hub of
many tantric traditions and the practices associated with
them. Mahakala, the devourer of time, or the destroyer
of death, presides over all other deities residing here, but
practices from many traditions are often found in the
same ritual.

4. Kala Bhairava Temple
A visit to the Kala Bhairava temple nearby will change
your belief system if you happen to witness the statue of
Kala Bhairava apparently drinking liquor - a phenomenon
that occurs frequently. The liquor actually disappears
from the chalice. After seeing this your curiosity regarding
left-hand tantra will turn into a burning desire to practice
and unveil the mystery for yourself.

5. Himalaya
And finally, if you go to the Himalayan region in North India
you will find the full spectrum of tantra. Every village has a
shrine, a guardian deity, and a set of practices to propitiate
this deity, who, according to their faith, gives them protection
and nourishment. Whether they know it or not,the way in
which these villagers connect their hearts with the deity is
purely tantric.
