Abstract	Kalidasa, the eminent classical Sanskrit poet and dramatist, is widely revered as a profound exponent of Indian culture, aesthetics, and philosophy. His lyrical works—Ritusamhara, Meghaduta, Kumarasambhavam, Raghuvamsa, and the iconic play Abhijnanashakuntalam—interweave nature, mythology, dharma, and poetic beauty. He portrays ideal human virtues through metaphoric richness and subtle emotional depth. His characters embody cultural ideals, while his nature imagery reflects the Indian worldview of harmony between man and nature. Kalidasa’s refined diction and mastery in poetic devices like similes and Arthantaranyasa affirm his timeless contribution to Indian literary and cultural heritage.
Keywords	Kalidasa, Sanskrit literature, Indian culture, simile, poetic imagination, Indian aesthetics.
