Girish Karnad
Naga-Mandala intertwines two Kannada folk tales to explore the power and paradox of storytelling. The first tale reflects on how oral stories possess a life of their own, independent of the teller, yet survive only through retelling. Within this frame is the poignant story of Rani, who invents tales to fill the emotional void in her life. Her journey highlights the human reliance on fiction and half-truths to sustain everyday existence without confronting unsettling truths.

Description
In Naga-Mandala Karnard weaves two Kannada folk-tales together. The first one comments on the paradoxical nature of oral tales in general; they have an existence of their own, independent of the teller, and yet live only when they are passed on from one story-teller to another. Ensconced within this is the story of Rani who makes up tales to fill the void in her life. Rani's predicament poignantly reflects the human need to live by fiction and half-truths, the need not to push the search for Truth beyond the point where the whole edifice of day-to-day living may come tumbling down.
