**Raja** (Bengali: রাজা), (also known as **The King of the Dark Chamber** in English translation), is a play by Rabindranath Tagore written in 1910. This play is marked as a symbolic play as well as a ‘mystic play’. The story is loosely borrowed from the Buddhist story of King Kush from Mahāvastu. A short stage version of Raja was published under the title of Arupratan in 1920. (Source: Wikipedia))
