Kalidasa is undoubtedly the greatest poet and playwright in the Sanskritanguage. The exact time when Kalidasa is said to haveived has always remained inconclusive, but it isargely believed that he composed his works at the close of the first millennium BC. His writings not only recreate glorious Puranicore, but also epitomize the richness of ancient Indianiterature. In this novel, acclaimed writer K.C. Ajayakumar recreates Kalidasa metamorphosis from a Malva boy to aiterary genius. The book Gives ingenious insights into theife and works of Kalidasa and also relives Kalidasa''s travels all over India. The reader is taken to the times when Kalidasa''s soaring popularity earns him a place in the royal court of King Vikramaditya. Soon, however, he becomes a target of Ujjain''s palace politics, and the court''s jealous intellectuals anditerary gurus have him banished to a remote place called Ramagiri. It''s here that his pain and anguish find expression in the form of hisiterary masterpiece, Meghadutam.ater, as he is set to marry the sister of Vikramaditya, she dies in an accident.
