Book •
Raghuvamsha, an epic poem by the celebrated Indian poet Kalidasa, narrates the lineage of the Raghus, a dynasty of kings.

The poem meticulously traces the rise and fall of this royal family, highlighting the virtues and vices of its rulers.

Through vivid descriptions and compelling narratives, Kalidasa explores themes of dharma (righteousness), artha (material prosperity), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation).

The poem's exploration of kingship, morality, and the cyclical nature of power makes it a significant work in classical Sanskrit literature.
