About “Meghadūta”
Meghadūta is a lyric poem written by Kālidāsa, one of the greatest classical Sanskrit poets. The poem tells the story of a yakṣa who was exiled to a remote area for a year and asked a cloud to carry a message of love to his wife. The work became well-known in Bengali literature and influenced other poets to create similar poems on the same theme. Korada Ramachandra Sastri later wrote Ghanavrttam, a sequel to Meghadūta.
