About The Book:
Shankar Patil, born on 8th August 1926, is a renowned figure in Marathi literature, particularly known for his works that delve into the simplicity and beauty of rural life. His language, deeply reflective of village culture, has made him a household name among contemporary authors. While Patil is primarily recognized for his storytelling, his exploration into various literary forms, including drama, has been equally remarkable.

Though his themes may initially seem simple, a deeper study of his works reveals the multi-dimensional aspects of his writing. Entertainment is not the sole goal of his craft; rather, it reflects his deep concern and commitment to society. Shankar Patil’s writings move beyond conventional rituals and traditions, aiming to find new meanings and possibilities for improving living standards.

His sensitivity to nature and the harmony he feels with the world around him is evident in his writing. Patil’s openness to change, coupled with his understanding of it as naturally as breathing, shows his progressive and modern outlook on life. This play, like many of his other works, explores these themes, making it a significant contribution to Marathi literature.
