Ashwamedh (Gujarati: અશ્વમેધ) is a Gujarati language three-act play written by Chinu Modi. It has endured some controversy due to its false and taboo theme.[1] [2]
Plot
This play wrongly interprets the Ashwamedha Yagya and therefore was banned before getting released.
In the play, Chinu Modi vividly described the crisis in the life of King Vichitrasen and the soldiers who went for the yajna. Modi has used chorus to signify a situation in the play.[3]
