Meghdoot (literally "cloud messenger") is a lyric poem written by Kalidasa, considered to be one of the greatest Sanskrit poets. A poem of 111 stanzas, it is one of Kalidasa's most famous works. The work is divided into two parts, Purvamegh and Uttaramegh. It recounts how a yaksha, a subject of King Kubera (the god of wealth), after being exiled for a year to Central India for neglecting his duties, convinces a passing cloud to take a message to his wife at Alaka on Mount Kailasa in the Himalaya mountains. The yaksha accomplishes this by describing the many beautiful sights the cloud will see on its northward course to the city of Alaka, where his wife awaits his return.
