Girish Karnad brings the richness to Indian theater that can probably only be equated with his talent as an actor and director. His contribution goes beyond theater as he represents India in a foreign land as an emissary of art and culture. In all his works he distances himself from tradition. For his works he borrows various themes and techniques from history, myths, folktales, popular and classical theater, while simultaneously relying on contemporary themes and techniques. Its uniqueness lies in the revival of the ritual and symbolic aspects of drama involved in role-playing rituals which in all cultures are intended to ward off and purify the community from all evil. Dressing up, singing, dancing and all are aspects of rituals. Research in anthropology and culture emphasizes the intrinsic relationship of drama with the customs of civilization across cultures. The ritualized actions in the form of singing hymns in yajna, the game within the game, Yavakri water as a magical savior, the pairing of Vishaka and Yavakri Raibhyas. the creation of a Brahma rakshasa to kill Yavakri the performance of funerals, atonement, penance for unnatural death. The final act, the epilogue, creates the impression that events accumulate a wave of circumstances and emotions that overwhelm the characters. In the climactic action the ritual design is brought to its final teleological end with the spilled blood of Nittilai who bleeds, dying like a sacrificial animal. Fire and Rain is Girish Karnad's sixth hit drama. It is based on mythology, for which the playwright relies heavily on an episode from the Mahabharata. Fire and Rain is the translation of his Kannada work “Agni Mattu Male”. The plot of the work is not as simple as that of Kar...... middle of paper ......be accompanied by the sense of fulfillment seems to be accompanied by the sense of achievement of the golden. The world has been accepted remaining character without any desire for change. And it seems that Karnad's view on human relationships has been softened and broadened to accept reality as truth.
