Meghdoot (literally "cloud messenger") is a lyric poem written by Kalidasa considered to be one of the greatest Sanskrit poets.

Kalidas was a Classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit language of India. His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Vedas the Mahabharata and the Puranas.

Malavikagnimitram ("Pertaining to Malavika and Agnimitra") tells the story of King gnimitra, who falls in love with the picture of an exiled servant girl named Malavika. When the queen discovers her husband's passion for this girl, she becomes infuriated and has Malavika imprisoned, but as fate would have it Malavika is in fact a true-born princess, thus legitimizing the affair.

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 Alaska on Mount Kailasa in the Himalaya mountains.

In Sanskrit literature, the poetic conceit used in the Meghaduta spawned the genre of Sandesa Kavya or messenger poems, most of which are modeled on the Meghaduta. Examples include the Hamsa-sandesha, in which Rama asks a Hansa Bird to carry a message to Sita, describing sights along the journey.
