Girish Karnad’s Naga-Mandala creates a dream-reality as a playwright in search of a story comes across the life and dreams of Rani, an adolescent girl who gets wedded off to a man whose has no love for her. Her life gets its fulfilment as a Naga falls in her love and becomes one with her as Karnad explores the tradition of folklore whereby Cobras could take the human form and become humans. Through a powerful set of actions Rani becomes a wife and mother and matures into becoming a complete woman. The paper studies the journey of Rani from a young girl to woman through the participation of three males, her husband, the lover and Kappanna, another young man who plays a functional role in working out her liberty. These three males form one self as they evolve and grow into one image becoming facets of one male visage, the three-tier structure of Freud’s mind or consciousness.
