Vaidehi is one of the Navaratna writers of the contemporary kannada literature.Her favourite and best literary genre is short story.Vision of life , dreams and distress of feminity are the specialities of her poems.
The first part of this collection contains 41 poems.'Uttara Seeta Charita ' is one of the best poems of Vaidehi.We can compare this poem with her famous short story- 'Shakuntaleyondige kaLeda Aparahna '.This poem discribes the loneliness and temperament of the Seeta of Uttara Kanda, Ramayana.
The second part of this collection contains selected poems from Vaidehi's earliear collections.'Parvati uvaacha ' and 'Astamanada Kavitegalu' are my favourite poems.'Hoova kattuva Kayaka' means preparing a garland of flowers.Vaidehi knows how to prepare a garland of flowers in poetry."Parijata" is the name of her collection of poems published in 1999.The flower 'Parijata' reminds us many mythological stories . Myths of Indian gods- Shiva, Krishna,hallucinations , dreams and reality of the poor, rural, unsophisticated Indian girls are main themes of Vaidehi's beautiful Kannada poems.
