Girish Karnad’s Nagamandala is an important play that underlines the mythical reality of Indian traditional society. It makes a critical comment on the exploitative nature of the society, established traditional norms of the society are unfair towards women. In this research paper, how Girish Karnad used this traditional myth to highlight the positivity of the established norms. Newly married Rani comes into her husband’s house full of expectations that she would get showers of comforts from her husband but on the contrary, that husband has had illicit relations with a mistress. He locks her in the house and only comes for lunch. Despite that Rani beseeches that and makes a full-blown attempt to attract her husband towards her. This research paper argues that in the traditional society woman has been glorified therefore with that pseudo glorification women do not dare to go against the established flow of the society.)
