About this book
Chitra, born a princess of Manipur and brought up as her father's heir, meets Madana, the god of love, and Vasanta, the King of the Seasons, in the opening scene of this lyrical drama in nine scenes.
Rabindranath Tagore based it on an episode from the Mahabharata in which the warrior Arjuna, wandering as a penitent, comes to Manipur and asks for the king's daughter in marriage. He wrote it about twenty-five years before the English version appeared in 1914, and it had been performed in India without scenery, with the actors surrounded by the audience.
