Question

Describe the hermitage of kanava in Abhijinamasakuntalam​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kanva is a great ascetic sage, head of the hermitage that’s the setting of the play’s first few acts, and Shakuntala’s beloved foster father. At the beginning of the play, he is absent from his hermitage because he’s trying to appease the gods on Shakuntala’s behalf. When he returns, he’s pleased to learn of his daughter’s good marriage and sends her to join King Dusyanta, accompanied by an escort of ascetics and seers.
