Kamashastra

Kāmaśāstra refers to the classical Indian discipline dealing with love, desire, relationships, aesthetics, household life, pleasure, and social refinement. Its best-known work is the Kāmasūtra of Vātsyāyana, which treats kāma as one of the legitimate aims of life alongside dharma and artha. The tradition studies courtship, marriage, intimacy, conduct, adornment, arts, and cultured living within ethical and social frameworks.
