## Bio

Kālidāsa lived sometime in the 4th or 5th century CE, likely during the Gupta era, but his biography is a void: no firm dates, no clear patron, nothing but inference drawn from the texts themselves. What survived are three plays, two epic poems, and two shorter pieces, all rooted in Hindu Puranas and philosophy. The precision of his craft and the depth of his dramatic and lyric range secured his reputation as ancient India's greatest playwright and poet. Centuries later, scholars still argue over when exactly he lived, while his verses remain fixed points in the Sanskrit canon.
