Abstract	Karnad's engagement with folklore serves as a vehicle for cultural preservation, challenging the boundaries between the past and present. Moreover, Karnad's nuanced treatment of folklore goes beyond mere adaptation; he reinterprets myths and legends, infusing them with modern sensibilities. By doing so, he prompts audiences to reflect on the timeless relevance of these tales and their implications for contemporary society. This paper delves into the intricate layers of Karnad's plays, unravelling the intricate interplay between folklore, identity, and the human condition in the context of Indian theatre.
