I wish I could be like her.

Also me.

But you're a servant girl, maya.

I must go. She'll be waiting.

And I?

You can't go,

but I'll come

And tell you everything.

So, kamasutra,

the greatest book

of love ever written.

Kama means...

Love.

And sutra means?

Lessons?

Very good.

So here we have it.

Lessons on love.

An ancient book on men and women

and their relationship

through life together.

Now, why do we study it,

you may all ask,

when it was written

so many hundreds of years ago?

Because love remains as meaningful

And mysterious today

as it was then.

The kamasutra teaches us

the many ways to use

our body for love.

It also teaches us

that the ways of love

are much deeper.

But, of course, it tells us

we must Learn

to u se our body very well.

So... lift up your skirts

And look at your...

feet.

One doesn't pay much attention

to one's feet or toes,

but believe me when I tell you...

if you touch the toes and feet

in a certain way...

it can bring great

pleasure to your lover.

Maya...

maya, is that you?

Masi, why do I always have to wear

tara's old clothes

when she never wears mine?

What have I done in my past life

to inherit you from your mad mother?

Just because tara and biki

drank from my breast,

they Let you play with her.

So what if you bathe with tara?

That doesn't mean you can

become a maharani yourself.

Be grateful they Let

you dance with her.

Maya.

Biki.

Just because you're a prince,

you think you can spy on me?

One day I will be king,

And you will be my Queen...

And my slave.

I' m no one's slave.

Forever!

I want to know everything

tara knows.

You are truly pagli.

My mad one.

Hips just like your mother.

When she danced one jhalak...

And the room would be still.

You'd better deserve those dancing

bells she Left you.

Very good, maya.

You are doing

the dance of enticement, tara.

You are the one

with the beautiful eyes.

So, play with them.

You have to mesmerize with them.

Don't give up, princess tara.

Come on, come on. Try.

Beautiful dancing, maya.

Come, my princess tara.

My darling.

This is for you.

New clothes?

For me?

I've never had new clothes.

Thank you, sahib.

Tara.

How is it?

It looks like leftovers.

You can wear it at my wedding.

I am going to be married

to the great raj singh.

Such a tender flower,

still unopened.

Women, being of tender nature,

want tender beginnings, eh?

The wisdom of

the kamasutra is such,

it teaches us not to rush.

For the first 3 days

after marriage,

the girl and the boy

should abstain

from sexual pleasures.

Oh, yes!

On the 10th night,

the king will begin

gentle love play

to create confidence in you.

He will embrace you

with the upper part

of his body in darkness

because he doesn't know you well.

You should at this time

accept his embrace

And allow him to put

betel nut in your...

mouth.

God bless the alliance

of our two kingdoms.

Now Let's see if the king's bride

is worth her weight in gold.

Let's see.

He's coming.

He's so young.

Small price to pay for such beauty.

Let's hope she's worth it.

Tara, he likes you.

Go to your room.

And when will this flower open?

Oh, my.

I wait upon that night.

And what a night that will be.

Please come. Please come.

Come here.

Masi.

Oh, maya.

That's her.

There she is - -

my lotus woman.

Maybe that was my padmini.

I found her.

I lost her.

Seeing things again?

What says the doctor?

Examining, examining.

Pulse tells all.

Hey, maya.

Maya.

Easy on those sweets.

That's hot stuff.

Aphrodisiacs.

Put one in my mouth, maya.

Open your mouth

And close your eyes.

Yes?

Forgive me for disturbing you,

great king.

Your name?

Maya.

Could you be anything but maya?

I've brought you something.

Some malida to sweeten your tongue.

This is all need.

This is all need

to sweeten my tongue.

Tara...

you' re leaving us...

tara...

ma.

Ma.

Ma...

please get maya for me.

I want to marry her.

This is for you, maya.

Tara...

all my life I have lived

with your used things.

But now...

something I have used

is yours forever.

Maya!

Maya.

Ill leave this place forever!

Maya.

Maya.

Maya, listen to me.

Listen to me.

Think about it.

Biki loves you.

You will be almost like tara.

You a princess and she a Queen.

I' m supposed to just

say yes to everything?

To tara's clothes,

to her used dowry,

And now to her brother?

It is our destiny, maya.

I'll make my own destiny, masi.

Please.

Let me be.

She said no?

Thank god.

I could found show my face.

Daughter marries king,

son marries servant girl.

Come, ma.

Come, ma!

You whore!

Please!

Stop, please!

Stop, please!

Please, I beg of you, no.

Biki.

I' m so sorry.

Please.

Maya?

Maya.

Oh, masi...

you had better go, my pagli.

Your mother's blessings

are with you.

Go!

And take these bells with you,

so the world will know

the whore is coming!

For the blood.

I know about the blood.

Just put it underneath you

at the time of the pain.

What pain?

Just like the tearing

of a back tooth.

One moment there, one moment gone.

Enough.

She is ready for you, my son.

Your good luck charm.

One day you are

your father's property...

the next day you are

your husband's property.

Must be difficult.

Why not put that around me?

I promise I will not do it again

if you embrace me.

I cannot.

You can.

You even want to.

No.

Please.
