The Kamasutra is a remarkable document, which gives an insight into the social and political ethos of ancient India. Indeed, the Kamasutra is an important source of information for understanding the oldest living civilization in the world. It is truly remarkable that a detailed study of the sexual behaviour was done about two thousand years ago. This abridged edited version on the ancient literary classic is richly illustrated with photographs of rare miniature paintings inspired by Vatsyayna's Kamasutra.
