About the book

The Kama Sutra, attributed to Vātsyāyana, is a classical Sanskrit work on love, desire, relationships and the art of living. Although famous for its discussion of sexual behaviour, the text ranges much more widely across courtship, marriage, social customs, household life and the cultivation of pleasure within an ordered life. It is an important source for the study of sexuality and elite culture in ancient India.
