Vishakha (Marathi: विशाखा) is a Marathi novel by Kusumagraj. It was first published in 1952 by Continental Prakashan. The novel is set in the 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Vishakha who is married to a much older man. Vishakha struggles to come to terms with her arranged marriage and eventually leaves her husband to pursue her own dreams. The novel is a powerful indictment of the traditional Indian marriage system and a celebration of women's independence. It is also a moving portrait of a woman who is determined to live her life on her own terms. Vishakha has been praised for its lyrical prose, its nuanced portrayal of female characters, and its insights into the social and political issues of the time. It is considered one of Kusumagraj's finest works and is a classic of Marathi literature.
