Erotic art has a rich and long-standing history in India, with evidence of its presence dating back to ancient times. This form of art has been expressed in various mediums, including paintings, sculptures, and literature, and has been celebrated and appreciated for centuries.

In ancient India, erotic art was often linked to fertility and associated with the sacred and auspicious. It was considered a means of expressing divine energy and celebrating the beauty and sensuality of human beings. For instance, the Kama Sutra, a famous ancient Indian text on love and sexual behavior, contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of sexual positions and acts, which were considered an important part of a fulfilling and healthy life.
