Kalidasa and Bhasa are two luminaries of Sanskrit literature whose plays continue to captivate audiences centuries after they were written. This course offers a rare opportunity to study their masterworks not merely as literary texts, but as living theatrical experiences.

Dr. Prasad Bhide will enact select scenes while offering critical appreciation of the dramatic craft. Dr. Gauri Moghe will illuminate how Kalidasa transformed the original Shakuntala Upakhyana into his celebrated masterwork.
