According to legend, the Kamasutra was created by the Indian god Shiva who, overwhelmed by the joys of sexual experience, dictated to a servant a treatise on erotic art, in order to make known and render eternal the amorous practices that he himself had experienced. This is a modern deck since there is no historical association between tarot cards and the Indian erotic work. The Kama Sutra only consists of 64 images, but the publisher commissioned Indian artists to create 78 designs to complete a unique full tarot deck inspired by the Indian erotic work.
