Info — Tamil Kamakathaikal

The history of Tamil kamakathaikal is not well-documented, but it is believed to have originated in the ancient Tamil region. The earliest known examples of Tamil kamakathaikal date back to the Sangam period (300 BCE - 300 CE), where erotic themes were present in some of the classical Tamil works. However, it was during the medieval period that Tamil kamakathaikal emerged as a distinct genre of literature.
