About The Theatre

The play opens with an invocation of the Muses, Devi Saraswati in particular, to inspire the narrator with an inward surging that could make him sing a song of a lofty theme describing the fall of a mighty hero.

Rama reverently makes way for the army to enter the city of Lanka. Instead of Ravana, Meghnad decides to go to himself to lead the war. Indra is sent to Maya, the Dark Goddess of Magic and illusion, who gives the Weapons that would see an end to Meghnad.

Unaware of all these fateful design Meghnad takes leave of his beloved wife Pramila. Bivishana leads Lakshmana through the secret passage to the Nikumbhila temple, where Meghnad, after offering his prayer, would attain invincibility. Meghnad is confronted by the duo and challenged to a war. Lakshmana, empowered by Maya, kills him in an unjust fight.
