Some things you can't explain. Uh, such is the case with the stone penis that we saw on our way out of Kharkhorin.
Puji said we had to go visit it....it's a famous landmark. Uh....okay. So we went and we saw. Uh, photo op anyone? Not me. I let Puji do the honors.
Supposedly, the penis was erected (no pun intended...*blushing*) so it points up towards a supposedly 'vaginal' slope above. This was allegedly a deterrent to restrain the sexual impulses of the monks and ensure their good behavior.
Uh, sure...*wink, wink*
