Kalidasa



Kalidasa was one of the famous Classical Sanskrit poet and dramatist. Apart from his well known works, nothing is certainly known about him.  Precisions are made that he resided in the Gupta period, probably in the 4th, 5th or 6th century. His plays and poetry were primarily based on Hindu mythology and philosophy.


Meghaduta, Abhijnanasakuntalam and Kumarasambhava are some of the notable works of Kalidasa. Among these three Abhijnanasakuntalam ("The Recognition of Shakuntala") is commonly regarded as a masterpiece. It was among the first Sanskrit work that has been translated in several other languages. The two epic poems written by him are the Raghuvamsa ("Dynasty of Raghu") and Kumarasambhava ("Birth of Kumāra").
