The play is a theatrical collage of poems, songs, thoughts and philosophies of the medieval poetess Lal Ded from Kashmir. Though born to Brahmins, this fiery artist transgressed all boundaries by discarding her clothes at an early age and remained unclad all her life. Her poems or vaakhs were short and pithy, resonating secular values that transcended the narrow confines of caste and religion that had crippled India in those times. Everything about Lal Ded –her life, her vaakhs - challenged dogmas and ossified perceptions.
