The author traces the development of romantic poetry in the Indian tradition starting with ancient poetry in Prakrit from the 4th century court of Hala, through the Tamil Aham poetry, to Kaldasa's creations in classical Sanskrit, the 10th canto of the Bhagvata Purana, Jayadeva's Geeta Govinda, the poetry of Bihari, Keshavdas and Bhanudatta of the ritikal period in the bhashas, Sufi romantic poetry and finally the poetry of the seasons and ragas. The paintings cover a period of about 500 years of the romantic Indian tradition from western Indian painting of the 15th century, the Sultanate period, the Mughal and the Deccan style, the Rajasthani and Pahari, to a glimpse of the 19th century Madubani and Kalighat movements.

This is a book about romantic moments, heart-throbbing moments, soul-stirring moments that have inspired poets, enlivened courts and been celebrated by artists. Sensual moments alive with passion and radiant with emotion are composed equally of amorous pleasure and heart-rending pathos.
