Kālidāsa
The most popular theory is that Kalidasa flourished during the reign of Chandragupta II, and therefore lived around 4th-5th century CE. Several Western scholars have supported this theory, since the days of William Jones and A. B. Keith. Many Indian scholars, such as Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi and Ram Gupta, also place Kalidasa in this period. According to this theory, his career might have extended to the reign of Kumaragupta I (r. 414 – 455 CE), and possibly, to that of Skandagupta (r. 455 – 467 CE).
Kalidas Shrestha
Kalidas had already started teaching at the age of 13, when he was still enrolled as a student at the Durbar High School, the first school of Nepal. He obtained primary education from Durbar High School. In the year 1944 he completed Kala Pravin. This was the highest level of art education available in Nepal. He then went to Mumbai (then Bombay) and earned a Graduate Diploma in Arts (GDA) degree from the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in 1957 under the Colombo Plan.
