This episode clarifies that 'Kama' is a comprehensive concept of desire, a Purushartha essential for life and even divine. Learn why iconic sites like Khajuraho, Konark, and numerous Jain and Buddhist temples throughout India intentionally featured these sculptures, which ancestors viewed as a "masterpiece" and "pride" not obscenity. The discussion delves into how colonial influences and changing social norms led to a narrow, judgmental view, urging for an objective and truly "broad-minded" approach to understand this unique and sophisticated cultural heritage
