Kalidasa

Kalidasa is undoubtedly the greatest poet and playwright in the Sanskrit language. The exact time when Kalidasa is said to have lived has always remained inconclusive but it is largely believed that he composed his works at the close of the first millennium BC. His writings not only recreate glorious Puranic lore but also epitomize the richness of ancient Indian literature. In this novel acclaimed writer K.C. Ajayakumar recreates Kalidasa metamorphosis from a Malva boy to a literary genius.
