Abstract: Mrichchhakatika, a well-known Indian classical play written in Sanskrit language is attributed to the ancient playwright named Sudraka. In his magnum opus, Mrichchhakatika depicts an immortal love story between Charudatta and Vasantasena. The former is a Brahmana who is impoverished but quite virtuous whereas the latter is a courtesan who is exceedingly rich and breathtakingly beautiful. This love story is full of twists and turns but at the same time, greatly amusing and far elevating. It is based on high moral values such as pure love, loyalty, truth, sacrifice, and selflessness. He has presented the characters from almost all social groups of the contemporary society- gentlemen, monks, courtesans, maids, and servants. This play becomes so popular that it has been translated into many languages including English and French, and it has also been staged on national and international levels several times. The present paper aims at analyzing the love story between Charudatta and Vasantasena with all its delicacies and complexities. The study explores into all the essential factors that make this love story par excellence.
