Vikramorvasiyam Is A Famous Play Composed By Kalidasa In Five Acts Which Describes The Love Of Pururavas, The King Of Pratishthana, And Urvasi, A Heavenly Nymph (Apsaras). In This Play, Kalidasa Seems To Have Concentrated More On Characterization Than On Plot-Construction As He Has Done In The Malavikagnimitra. But The Most Debated Portion Of The Play Is Act Iv Where The Hero, Distracted By Separation, Gives Vent To His Feelings In Short, Sweet And Pathetic Lyrics. It Is Not A Long Narrative Or Descriptive Poem Which Can Be Read With Chosen Intervals Or Breaks. With A True Dramatic Instinct Kalidasa Turns This Long-Drawn Pathetic Scene Into A Musical Ballet, And He Makes A Dexterous Use Of Prakrit Suitable A For Music As Well As The Lonesome State Of The Hero.

The earthly King Pururavas rescues the celestial nymph Urvashi from a demon, and thus begins a love story that brings heaven and earth together. The lovers must overcome a range of obstacles, including a heavenly curse and a magical transformation before they can be together. A magnificent drama based on an episode from the Rig Veda, Vikramovarshiyam is filled with dramatic turns of event, music and dance. The scenes, characters and dialogues are at once lively and dramatic as well as sensitive and speculative. Believed to be the second of Kalidasa's three plays, it is a treat for the senses.
