Kalidasa is the most eminent figure in Sanskrit Literature. His poetic genius has gifted the literary world with unsurpassed dramas and lyrics like Abhijnanasakuntalam and Meghadutam. These works are a storehouse of ‘alankara’, ‘rasa’, ‘bhava’ and ‘dhwani’. He described ‘nature’, ‘beauty’ and ‘love’ with exceptional minuteness. His works clearly reflect the ancient Indian culture and civilisation. For his perfection in poetry he has been called as Mahakavi, Kavi-Siromani, Kavikulaguru. The key to his perfect art is his graceful presentation of aesthetic beauty. Where human emotion is the soul of his artistry, nature’s beauty is the charm. His mastery over sound and language and brevity in style has showered utmost satisfaction on his readers.
