Kāvya
Kāvya (Devanagari: काव्य, IAST: "kāvyá") refers to the Sanskrit literary style used by Indian court poets flourishing between c.200 BCE and 1200 CE. 

This literary style, which includes both poetry and prose, is characterised by abundant usage of figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, and hyperbole to create its emotional effects. The result is a short lyrical work, court epic, narrative or dramatic work. Kāvya can refer to the style or the completed body of literature. Aśvaghoṣa (c. 80–150 AD), a philosopher and poet considered the father of Sanskrit drama, is attributed with first using the term.
