A lovers‘ tryst on the riverfront is seen as disturbed by a deer-cub shot by a hunter, who turns out to be aware of Kalidasa’s poetic prowess. In our times, Mohan Rakesh has scripted the play Ashadh Ka Ek Din on Kalidasa’s life in his native village where he thrived early in the romantic companionship of beautiful Mallika. His writings revealed this love of life and a passion for nature’s beauty. As one of the gems, Kalidasa was among the fortunate who experienced life’s beauty and tenderness more than its rough edges.
Vikramaditya’s fame rested on the literary and cultural brilliance of his court where he collected some of the most famous writers, artists and musicians, the ‘nine gems’ of the imperial court. Nehru cited traditions that Kalidasa lived during the reign of Chandragupta II Vikramaditya of the Gupta dynasty. With Ravi Jhankal as Kalidas, Pallavi Joshi as Mallika, Virendra Saxena as Matul, Lalit Tiwari as Vilom, Devendra Malhotra as Acharya Vararuchi, Mala Kumar as Anusuya, Prabha Mathur as Priyamvada, Shekhar Thakur as Durvasa, and Meenakshi Thakur as Ambika.

To him, there is something unique about the continuity of a cultural tradition through 5000 years of an unbroken history. Slowly, the long panorama of India’s history unfolds itself before him with its ups and downs, its triumphs and tragedies. At Fatehpur-Sikri, he almost hears Akbar converse with the learned of all faiths. The inscriptions on the Ashoka Pillars of stone make their inscriptions speak to him. At Saranath, near Banaras, he could almost hear the Buddha’s first sermon. He sees the lovely buildings in Agra and Delhi where every stone tells its story of India’s past. He visits old monuments Ajanta, Ellora and the Elephanta Caves. India unfolds with its waterfalls, rivulets and seas, with her richness of life and its renunciation, of growth and decay, of birth and death. He wanders over to the Himalayas and sees the mighty rivers - the remote Brahmaputra, the Yamuna, and the Ganga - that flow from this great mountain barrier into the plains of India, from their source to the sea. Travelling by train, the landscape and the landmarks flash past his eyes. Bharat Mata was essentially these millions of people, and victory to her meant victory to these people! The mountains, the rivers, the forests, and the broad fields which gave them food, but what counted ultimately was the people like them who were spread out all over this vast land. What earth was it? Their particular village patch, or all the patches in the district or province, or in the whole of India? Nehru would then endeavour to explain that India was all that they had thought, and much more. At last a vigorous jat, wedded to the soil from immemorial generations, said that it was the Dharti (the good earth) of India that they meant. Occasionally, as Nehru reached a gathering, a great roar of welcome would greet him-‘Bharat Mata-ki Jai’! He would ask the crowd unexpectedly what they meant by that cry, I who was this ‘Bharat Mata’, whose victory they wanted? His question would surprise them, and then, not knowing what to answer, they would look at each other.
The scene opens with a panoramic visual of India and its colourful landscape. With Ravi Jhankal, Vijay Kashyap, Ram Moorti A Production of Doordarshan, the Government of India’s Public Service Broadcaster
