Myth and imagination take over reality in Nāgamaṇḍala in which the audience is transported to the conflicting worlds of humans and animals, of harsh reality and soothing dreams and magic and imaginary realms and what not. The rest of the play is about the ensuing consequences of this metamorphosis that leads to that of others’, including Rani’s (from a frigid, submissive young girl to a blooming, transgressive woman) and Appana’s (from an arrogant, violent husband to a (literally) devoted husband). A snake (a nāga) that becomes the target of a spell that was meant to get Rani’s husband back to her falls in love with her and assumes the form and the role of her husband at night and gives her the love and comfort that she had been craving for. Preferring the company of a concubine over his wife’s, he refuses to consummate their marriage and leaves her on her own at night locking her up in the house, totally indifferent to her feelings of fear, sadness, helplessness, loss and despair. The play is about a young woman Rani who gets married to a man (Appanna) who sees her as no better than a servant whose services he uses to satisfy his basic needs. An allusion to one of the main characters who is a nāga –a snake, a popular deity mainly in rural India, portrayed in mythology as half-human (in the upper part of the body), half-snake (in the lower part) (2)- nāgamaṇḍala is the name given to a ritual snake dance performed in the coasts of Karnataka (3), a south Indian state which Karnad belongs to. Ramanujam, the eminent Indologist, the playwright has composed this piece of writing dealing extensively with metamorphosis.
