The mysterious rituals and dramatic depictions associated with Tantric Buddhism have long captured people’s imaginations, however its core concepts remain widely misunderstood.

Drawing on new interpretation and research and the V&A’s magnificent but little-known Himalayan collection of paintings, sculptures and other works, this fascinating book sets out to explain in a clear and engaging way the key principles, dynamic art and specific practices that characterize Tantric Buddhism both historically and today.
