Kings, Kinks and Kamasutra Aphrodisiacs then and now
The concept of aphrodisiacs is based on the most basic of human needs- food and sex. Their name comes from the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, Aphrodite, who was born when her father s testicles were thrown into the sea. This explains why seafood has been long linked with love and sex, and might be the reason why the legendary Casanova was said to eat 50 raw oysters for breakfast every day.
Preferring to kill plants to arouse sexual pleasure, Kamasutra, the handbook of love, focuses on items easily found in Indian kitchens. They include garlic, fenugreek, nutmeg and more, which can be incorporated into our daily routine for a healthy sex life. Compiled around 200 CE and attributed to a celibate monk, Vatsayayana, Kamasutra is a guide to the art of finding a life partner, nature of love, living well, and more.

In 1906, Rolls Royce introduced a range of luxury cars to the world that Indian royals immediately took a fancy to. While one car would chauffeur the Maharaja around, others graced their parking space. In fact, per a report in
The Telegraph, only 230 Indian Maharajas owned a total of 900 Rolls Royces between 1908 to 1939. Out of the lot, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh had the largest fleet with as many as 44 Rolls Royces registered to his name.
The love for Rolls Royce has passed on to the new generation of Indian royals as well. While they also own fast cars and a diverse range of mean machines, the RRs have a special spot reserved in their garage. Let’s take you through the stupendous car collection of Indian royals.
