India is going through an extremely puritanical period right now, to the extent that they recently prosecuted two people for kissing on TV.  The fact that the mythology of the majority religion of the country is rife with naked and semi-naked hot gods, goddesses, and heroes of all genders and preferences doesn't enter into it.

heck, even Muslims entering the country centuries ago would be shocked (and amused/bemused) by Hindus complaining: every writer I know (Babur included) from the middle ages all say they that not only were they shocked that Hindu gods were anthropomorphic (alone considered blasphemous), but were also bemused by the nudity of the gods.

Babur though was unique in that he was the first to "do something" about it. he "castrated" every male deity's statue he stumbled on (the temples were left to run: they still do). he also defaced the statutes as a whole, but these were since restored.

@ Travis retriever: Hinduism doesn't actually condemn nudity--quite the opposite: which makes this "puritanical" movement all the more puzzling--especially to those who actually know about the religion.

That happened to a lot of western statues, too, during the Middle Ages.

I was referring to India with the Muslims, but yeah: it seems universal during the middle ages in fact to do this to statues. the Middle ages were....interesting times, to say the least, even in the relatively sophisticated Near east and East Asia of the time.
