[A] Visarjan: This is a famous play written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1890, which is an adaptation of his own novella Rajarshi.
[B] Chandalika: This is a renowned dance drama (Nrityanatya) written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1938, based on a Buddhist legend.
[C] Muktadhara: This is a symbolic play written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1922, reflecting his views on technology, freedom, and imperialism.
