The Koka Shastra and its associated texts are to medieval Indian Literature what the Kama Sutra was to Ancient Literature.
In this collection of Indian erotica the complete tests of the Koka Shastra and Ratimanjari are presented, with extensive quotation from the Ananga Ranga, Panchasayaka, and other writings on love.
These texts are unique, both culturally and in their content. Indian erotica are important sources for the scholar, critic and psychologist: they are of equal interest to the general reader for the insight they give into the attitudes and culture of a society which accepted sexuality as a positive good and its elaboration as part of the good life.
