"Ulpi" unfolds against the backdrop of ancient mythology, drawing from the sacred Puranas that guide human culture and traditions. The play delves into the intricate tapestry of relationships among different clans, exploring the dynamics of friendship and enmity rooted in pride, land, and lineage. The narrative takes a poignant turn when the Pandavas, driven from their home, inadvertently disrupt the lives of the Nagas in the Khandab forest. This displacement sparks enmity, particularly between Princess Ulpi of the Nagas and Arjuna, Kunti's son. As the drama unfolds, it weaves a tale of love amidst historical conflicts, revealing the transformative power of love to bridge divides and overcome deep-seated enmity. Set against the enduring landscape of Ulapgarh Hills, the play "Ulpi" explores the profound connection between the Naga princess and the middle Pandava, Arjuna, offering a timeless reflection on the complexities of human relationships.

Play based on human emotions and passion often explores the complexities of relationships and how selfishness and false ego can create a rift between two individuals. In our pursuit of personal desires and validation, we may unintentionally hurt and push away those who are closest to us. However, it is only through genuine affection, faith, and love that these gaps can be mended. These emotions have the power to break down barriers and bring people back together, reminding us of the importance of human connection and genuine relationships. It is in these moments that we realize that our selfish actions were misguided and that true fulfilment lies in the love and support we receive from others. Play based in human emotions and passion serves as a reminder that our relationships must be nurtured with care, understanding, and selflessness to truly thrive. Through the portrayal of raw human emotions and the power of love, these plays offer a powerful message about the value of genuine connections in a world that often prioritizes personal gain over meaningful relationships.
