Tantra and Dark Tourism
Abstract
This book is an interdisciplinary effort, combining insights from anthropology, religious studies, tourism studies, and cultural ethics. It investigates the historical roots of Tantra, the significance of sacred death spaces, the commercialization and media representation of tantric sites, and the psychological motivations driving travelers toward these experiences. It also critically examines the role of local communities, legal frameworks, and ethical considerations that shape the practice and perception of tantric dark tourism in India.
