VIDEO: 'The Kama Sutra is not a dirty little text'
Paris's brand new exhibition on the legendary Kama Sutra takes visitors beyond its risqué reputation and shows the text is more about pleasure than sex. Our colleagues at Parisian News TV gives you an inside look.
If you mention the words "Kama Sutra" in Europe or North America you're likely to draw a blush or knowing nod about what's considered in the west a sex manual.
But the exhibition at the private La Pinacothèque museum, which runs through January, gives viewers a broader perspective on the text that also serves as a guide to virtuous living, love, family and how humans can feel pleasure.
Co-curator Dr. Alka Pande said: "I want people to go away with the view that the Kama Sutra is not a dirty little text but a book of life."
