Kama Sutra plaque
The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard
work on love in the Sanskrit literature. The text was written by Vatsyayana. The full title of the text is vâtsyâyana
kâma sûtra ("Aphorisms on Love, by Vatsyayana"). The author is believed to have lived sometime between the
1st to 6th centuries A.D., probably during the Gupta period. The Kama Sutra contains a total of 64 sexual
positions and depicts positions as arts. Vatsyayana believed there were eight ways of making love, multiplied
by eight positions within each of these. In the book, they are known as the 64 Arts. The chapter listing sexual
positions is the most well-known, and a translation (different from Burton's) is in wide circulation on the
Internet. It is commonly mistaken to be the entirety of the Sutra. However, only about 20 percent of the book is
devoted to sexual positions. The remainder gives guidance on how to be a good citizen and insights into men
and women in relationships. The Kama Sutra describes making love as "divine union" and this plaque is
intended to capture that.
