Intro. Gaṇikā is historically referred to elite prostitutes, educated entertainers, or curtisan in ancient India who were of high social status, proficient in the 64 arts (kalā), and respected like princesses, often educated at state expense. This term differs from veśyā (ordinary prostitute) because of its skill and honor. Gaṇikā's job was to serve the king and nobility in ancient India. Ganika is often invited to palaces or royal festivals to entertain kings, princes, and distinguished guests. Because they are proficient in 64 types of art (including music, dance, literature, and philosophy), they are seen as intellectual companions, not just sexual objects.
