Synopsis:

A showcase of Indian performing arts in dance, music and theatre, to develop interest and appreciation of Indian arts and culture throughout the year.

DWITA

DWITA, is a mesmerising bharatanatyam performance by Rama Vaidyanathan and her daughter Dakshina Vaidyanathan that explores the harmonious coexistence of dualities. A mother-daughter duo reminds us of a duality that exists in every aspect of our lives. They complement and empower each other, with one symbolising the present and the other the future.

There are always two sides to a coin, two perceptions and two paths to a goal. The challenge, however, is to recognise both and for both to coexist. DWITA, a Sanskrit term for duality, delves into the balance between material wealth and spiritual knowledge, invoking the blessings of goddesses Saraswati and Lakshmi.

SAMVET

In SAMVET, a captivating kathak showcase, nature's five elements unite to form a harmonious whole. This balanced convergence awakens our senses, bringing a profound sense of perfect equilibrium. As these elements merge seamlessly, they evoke an everlasting bliss that resonates through our heart, mind, body and soul.

Flowers of Devotion

Immerse yourself in the divine beauty of Flowers of Devotion, a captivating Manipuri dance performance that celebrates the sacred art form's rich heritage. Rooted in the temple traditions of Manipur, the performance intertwines the ancient devotional dances of Lai-Haraoba and Raas Lila. This classical dance form is imbued with the devotional themes of Madhura Raas, portraying the love of Kirshna with goddess Radha and the cowherd damsels of Vrindavan. The dance is characterised by soft body movements along with peaceful facial expressions known as Bhakti Rasa, the emotion of devotion.
