GirishRaghunath Karnad is regarded as one of the best dramatists in Indo Anglian literature, and is
known for his adaptability. He is a cultural administrator, translator, critic, director, actor, poet, and
dramatist, among other things. Karnad has received widespread appreciation for his complex portrayal
of topics in his plays, which examine existential issues and the human condition. Karnad's use of a variety
of dramatic devices adds to the innovative merging of Indian reason with western emotive culture in his
plays. A careful examination of Karnad's emotional devices in his major plays reveals the playwright's
elegant realism and inventiveness, and allows the reader to derive new meanings from the texts
