Indian classical art forms are a profound expression of India’s cultural soul, carrying the stories, emotions, and traditions of generations. Rooted in ancient scriptures like the Natya Shastra, these art forms are not just performances but living traditions that connect us to India’s rich history and spiritual essence.

This year, we bring you five iconic Indian classical dance forms: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam, Kathak, and Sattriya. Each of these art forms has a unique origin, reflecting the diversity of India’s heritage. Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest dances, was born in the temples of Tamil Nadu, narrating stories of devotion and mythology. Kathak emerged in the royal courts of North India, blending storytelling with rhythmic footwork. Mohiniyattam, with its graceful sways, captures the serenity of Kerala, while Kuchipudi adds theatrical flair with its roots in Andhra Pradesh. Sattriya, the spiritual dance of Assam, brings to life the teachings of Vaishnavite monks.

Complementing these graceful performances are the rich sounds of Indian classical music, a tradition that has inspired countless generations. With its deep connection to spirituality and nature, Indian classical arts promise an evening of introspection and celebration.

Join us as we celebrate these timeless traditions, offering you a glimpse into India’s vibrant cultural tapestry.
