Overview
In Kathmandu, historical temples rich with queer imagery offer a unique glimpse into the city's inclusive past. The Tridevi Temple in Thamel is renowned for its gay sexual carvings, while nearby in Asan, the 19th-century Annapurna Temple is surrounded by tantric temples adorned with transgender icons. Over in Kirtipur, the 17th-century Uma Maheshwor Temple displays an array of Kamasutra carvings that celebrate polygamy, homosexuality, zoophilia, and self-pleasure. These sites not only highlight Kathmandu’s spiritual diversity but also its long-standing embrace of gender and sexual identities, making them pivotal in understanding the city’s rich cultural tapestry.
