Raja (play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raja (Bengali: রাজা) (also known as The King of the Dark Chamber in the English translation) is a play by Rabindranath Tagore written in 1910.[1][2] This play is marked as a symbolic play as well as a ‘mystic play’.[2] The story is loosely borrowed from the Buddhist story of King Kush from Mahāvastu.[1] A short stage version of Raja was published under the title of Arupratan in 1920.[1]
The theme of the play is "the secret dealing of God with the human heart."[2]
