Immerse yourself in an enchanting evening of Odissi by Parwati Dutta and Kathak by Maulik Shah & Ishira Parikh, celebrating tradition and spirituality.

An evening of captivating performances awaits, where two distinct yet deeply connected dance forms explore the intersection of tradition, spirituality, and human connection. Together, these performances honour the timeless beauty of Indian classical dance while offering a contemporary lens on age-old philosophies. 

Parwati Dutta, a renowned Odissi and Kathak exponent and UNESCO Culture Awardee, presents ‘Pratimaan’, a poetic exploration of nature, metaphors, and spirituality. Alongside her disciples from Mahagami Gurukul, she brings to life Odissi compositions grounded in shastric principles, weaving stories of humanity, gods, and the natural world. With pieces like ‘Pratibimba’, a  pallavi on Darpani, and ‘Nirghoshah', the consecration of taal through mathematical patterns, melodic utterances and lyrical metaphors – this performance highlights Dutta’s research-driven revival of lost traditions, blending historical depth with vibrant creativity to engage both scholars and rasikas

The evening is elevated by Maulik Shah and Ishira Parikh, esteemed Kathak artists and Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardees, as they take the audience on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening in ‘Main to Tere Paas Hun’. Featuring compositions inspired by Sufism, the performance features graceful movements, lyrical music, and rhythmic mastery. Pieces like ‘Deewani’ and 'Mirror: Ek Khoj’ delve into themes of love, surrender, and self-reflection, while ‘Vihangini’ and ‘Taali’ celebrate liberation and awakening. The evening culminates with ‘Umang’, a jubilant Tarana that showcases the vigour and beauty of Kathak. 

This performance is a celebration of movement, music, and meaning, where Odissi and Kathak intertwine to create an unforgettable artistic experience, which transcends cultural boundaries and unites the audience with the essence of Indian classical dance. Don’t miss out!
