The Gupta Empire: Art and Culture | Śatāvadhānī Dr. R. Ganesh | English Subtitles |

Описание: Extraordinary work was accomplished in the realms of architecture & sculpture during the Gupta Era. Numerous cave temples have continued to remain the priceless gifts of the Gupta period.
In this talk Śatāvadhānī Dr. R. Ganesh also highlights how Kalidasa was the zenith of the Gupta period in every respect. In his works, we see a reflection of all the achievements of the Gupta era across diverse areas like Vedānta, philosophy, sciences & performing arts. A keen scholar or a sensitive reader will be able to mentally recreate the whole Gupta culture by understanding Kalidasa. And therein lies the greatness of Kalidasa. If there is one Indian poet who completely and sublimely represents the ethos of an entire era, it is Kalidasa.
