Kolkatta: Punthi Pustak, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xx + 300pp. With b&w photographs. Plain white cloth with dust jacket. DJ flaps are lightly affixed to inner boards as is often the case with Indian publications. Otherwise a very good copy in like dust jacket. This is the first complete translation in English of the Kamakhya Tantra, a tantra detailing the worship of the goddess Kamakhya. Appendices include additional instructions for worship from the Kalika Purana and the Yogini Tantra. In addition to the translation, there are chapters concerning the Ten Mahavidyas, the history of Kamakhya temple and surrounding areas, and other bits of information concerning Kamakhya. A long awaited and much needed English translation of this important tantra.
