Description
This book takes readers on an immersive journey into the poetic and theatrical world of Kalidasa, one of the greatest Sanskrit poets and dramatists. To enter Kalidasa’s mind is to explore a universe filled with vibrant colors, melodious music, mythic narratives, sensuous nayikas (heroines), and profound human emotions. His works depict royal grandeur, changing seasons, serene hermitages, and the elegance of shringara (romantic and aesthetic sentiment).
The book focuses on the nayikas of Kalidasa’s plays and poetry, illustrating their charm, emotional depth, and the political and romantic intrigues they navigate. Through the scholarly insights of Harsha V. Dehejia and his team, the book brings to life the palaces, ashrams, and regal spaces of ancient India. The text is beautifully complemented by exquisite miniature paintings by renowned artist Vijay Sharma, adding a visual dimension to Kalidasa’s lyrical world.
A perfect addition for lovers of Sanskrit literature, Indian aesthetics, and classical poetry, this book is a blend of literary grace and artistic elegance, making Kalidasa’s timeless narratives accessible and enchanting.
