Prakriti is the protagonist of the drama ‘Chandalika’ written by Rabindranath Tagore. Chandalika tells the story of a Chandal girl named Prakriti, a member of the lowest untouchable caste, who falls in love with a good-looking monk after giving him water. She couldn't help herself and made her mother recite the spells and bind him so he could be brought to their house in the middle of the night. But later she realizes that no one should be kept in captivity for love.
