Maithili Sharan Gupt (18861964) was an Indian poet, playwright and essayist of early twentieth century who has written many books and plays. One of his most popular plays is Yashodhara, which was based on the life of Yashodhara, the wife of Gautama Buddha.

It is a play written in the traditional Indian style and follows the story of Yashodhara, who was the wife of the Buddha. The play is set in the royal court of Kapilavastu and follows Yashodhara's journey from her childhood to her eventual death.

Maithili Sharan Gupt was one of the most renowned poets and playwrights of early twentieth century India. He was born in 1886 in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and received his education in Agra and Allahabad. He was a prolific writer and wrote numerous books, plays and essays. He was also an active member of the Indian National Congress and a strong advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity. He died in 1964 at the age of 78.

In Yashodhara, Maithili Sharan Gupt has presented the story of Yashodhara in a very poetic and realistic way. He has used symbolism and metaphors to make the play more engaging and meaningful.
