Amar Chitra Katha – Kalidasa

The mystery surrounding him has given rise to incredible legends about him, which are circulated even today. Our script is based on one of these legends. Kalidasa is the author of several great Sanskrit poetic works (or Mahakavyas) and plays for which he is famous. Malavikagnimitram, Kumara Sambhava, Vikramorvashiyam, Ritusamhara, Abhijnana Shakuntalam, Meghaduta and Raghuvamsha are some of his most brilliant works. These reveal that Kalidasa was a lover of nature and his descriptions suggest that he travelled widely. His poetry has the freshness and beauty of a mountain stream. He portrays women with tenderness. He exhibits a special love for the town of Ujjayini in his writings and he probably knew it well. Scholars have agreed that though all of Kalidasa’s works are brilliant, his play Abhijnana-Shakuntalam must be rated as his greatest work. Today, Kalidasa is regarded as one of the immortals in the world of literature. taking his place beside Shakespeare and Goethe.
