Title: The Evolution and Aesthetics of 'Shrungar Katha' in Marathi Literature

Abstract This paper explores the genre of 'Shrungar Katha' (Erotic/Sensual Stories) within the context of Marathi literature. While early Marathi literature was dominated by religious and devotional (Bhakti) themes, the Shrungar element has ancient roots, tracing back to the Nath Panthi traditions and evolving through the Peshwai era to modern contemporary fiction. This paper examines how Shrungar transformed from a poetic sentiment (Rasa) into a narrative genre, analyzing its social context, major authors, and the distinction between aesthetic eroticism and obscenity.

दाराची बेल वाजली. मीराने धावत जाऊन दार उघडलं. समोर अभिषेक उभा होता, पावसाने पूर्ण भिजलेला. त्याचे ते विस्कटलेले केस आणि चेहऱ्यावरचं हसू पाहून मीरा क्षणभर स्वतःला विसरली.
