Kama Sutra

A thousand years ago in the northern region of central India, a civilization that embraced sensuality and eroticism as a central theme in its way of life, built stunning palaces, fortresses, and temples to honor its beliefs. In this alluring portrait of a forgotten culture, LOST WORLDS journeys to Khajuraho, India, to explore the ruins of a robust people, and to investigate what drove them to create explicit sexual images on the temples of its capital city. While getting an up-close look at the carvings that make even the archaeologists blush, learn how the frank representations of sexuality that adorn these spiritual landmarks are considered to be an expression of the KAMA SUTRA, an ancient Indian manual known for its graphic depictions of sexual positions. Discover how the people who built these remarkable structures were forced to become skillful warriors when their city and their controversial beliefs came under attack, and get a profound insight into how sexual pleasure played a key role in religious life. Featuring astonishing computer reconstructions that show the ruins as they were in their original glory and incisive expert interviews, LOST WORLDS presents a rare look at this intriguing ancient society.
