Kalidas
Festival is organised in the honour of the great poet Kalidas. This
festival is held at Ramtek, Nagpur in the month of November for two
days. Ramgiri, or Ramtek is the place that inspired Kalidas, and the
beauty of this place is mentioned predominantly in his literary work.
The festival brings back memories of the golden period of the Vidarbha
region.
Kalidas was a great Sanskrit poet and dramatist. Historical drama,
Shakuntalam, and the epic poem, Meghdoot were his famous works that
would ever remain as the finest masterpiece in terms of human
literature.
Some finest performances of music, dance and drama are performed during
this festival on the backdrop of picturesque setting of Ramtek,
celebrating its glorious cultural heritage.
