About “Mahaviracharita”

Mahaviracharita is a Sanskrit play written by Bhavabhuti in the 8th century. It is based on the early life of Rama, a central figure in the Ramayana and a revered Hindu deity. This play is Bhavabhuti's first work, and as such, it shows less developed character and style compared to his later plays, Malatimadhava and Uttararamacharita. The play is currently structured into seven acts, but it is uncertain whether the entire text was written by Bhavabhuti. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
