Marking the closure of 35th National Theatre Festival, play ‘Lehron Ka Rajhans’ was staged at Ravindra Bhavan on Sunday.
The play was directed by Sharad Sharma from Ujjain. The play is a story written by Mohan Rakesh.
At the centre of the play is Gautam Buddha's younger brother Nanda and his wife Sundari. After Gautam Buddha, his wife Yashodhara has also become a monk. Dhamma Sharanam is a buzzing environment in the atmosphere.
At the same time, the duality of Nanda is what they should do. On the one hand, there is extra affection for the beauty, and on the other hand, the brother's Dhamma is reclusive. They swing like a pendulum. The narrative of the mutual duality of worldly pleasures and spiritual peace comes to the fore through Nanda and Sundari.
Many of the play's dialogues enter the psyche like the immortal utterance. Like Nanda says, everyone has the right to think, however good to say. At the same place, the monk Anand Nanda says, you have a room, a garden, but there is no home, where your soul may get satisfaction.
The play was wonderfully performed by the artists.
