India is a land of rich classical heritage- the land of many great thinkers and writers and our collection of literature in Sanskrit is priceless. Known as the mother of many languages, Sanskrit is abundant in the treasure of literature. Sanskrit literature came into being with the making of Vedas and left a rich legacy of literary knowledge for the times to come. Classical Sanskrit literature is found to be in vogue when it comes to writing poetry and dance dramas. The combination of different genres of dramas (rupakas) and Sanskrit resulted into a unique amalgamation that gave us the literary treasure of Sanskrit plays.
