The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra. Historians attribute Kamasutra to be composed between 400 BCE and 200 CE.
Kamastura is a concept in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy that refers to worldly desires or cravings. It is often associated with the idea of attachment to material possessions and sensual pleasures, which are seen as hindrances to spiritual growth and enlightenment. Practitioners aim to overcome kamastura through self-discipline and detachment.
