Abstract	Many research scholars have explored different aspects of Anita Desai’s multifaceted writing. “They include areas such as feminist approach, the philosophical approach and psychological one. Anita Desai is an expert in dealing with the lonely experience of the women characters. In Fire on the Mountain (1977),” her journey moves from adulthood to old age experiences of the protagonist Nanda Kaul. The content investigates how harsh practices connected to patriarchal society work powerfully on degrees of climate and gender. It sends a deft designing of zoological, botanical, atmospheric and color imagery to pass on the representative centrality of the account and the assorted analogies of the more obscure shades of nature and the hazier parts of femaleness. She presents the picture of a suffering woman engrossed with her inward world, her pouting dissatisfaction and the tempest inside; the existential problem of a woman in a male dominated society. She not just features the quiet agonies, pain, desola tion and weakness of women who are tortured by everyday issues, except quietly makes the examination of the circumstance in this way improving it for the perusers to reach to the main driver of the issue. In postcolonial Indian society, women are viewed as simple "objects" and "others." As a main figure of the 20th century Indo-Anglican fiction, Anita Desai holds a dream of feminism that tends to the showdown of women against patriarchal mistreatment. In the vast majority of her novels, working class women in contemporary India endeavor to conquer cultural restrictions forced by male centric society. Desai varies from different women's activists as she underscores singular salvation through self-investigation and inspiration. This Article analyzes the perception of women through Anita Desai’s Novel “The Fire on the Mountain”.
