Which of the following plays was NOT written by Harshavardhana?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Vikramorvasiyam.
The play "Vikramorvasiyam" was NOT written by Harshavardhana.
Harshavardhana, the great Indian emperor, was also a scholar and playwright. He authored Ratnavali, Nagananda, and Priyadarshika, which are considered his famous works. However, Vikramorvasiyam was written by the renowned playwright Kalidasa, not Harshavardhana. The play is a classical Sanskrit drama, often regarded as one of Kalidasa’s masterpieces, dealing with themes of love and divine intervention.
