Written over 2000 years ago, the Kama Sutra's relevance is perennial, since, all of life's expressions, sexual gratification remains one of the most fundamental. Brilliantly illustrated with rare minatures, gouache and tantric paintings, and sculptures on ivory panels, the book imbibes the magic of the Kama Sutra and examines the life force or prana of which the physical and the spiritual are equally potent aspects.
