🌌An Evening Where Innocence Danced with Tradition 🌌

If the fragrance of an evening lingers till the next morning and leaves you quietly happy and grateful, you know you have been to a good place.

Last evening, my wife and I were invited to a dance programme where school-going children, radiant in bright costumes and complete classical make-up, presented Kathak, Odissi and Bharatanatyam with touching sincerity. The atmosphere was ethereal, soaked in positivity and bliss. Their movements, gestures, mudras, bhava-bhangima, abhinaya and nritya may not have been flawless, yet they were utterly adorable, brimming with innocence and promise, transporting us to a space beyond everyday reality. It was heartening to see dedicated teachers nurturing young minds in the true guru-shishya tradition, supported by proud parents and silent promoters who create platforms for raw talent without seeking returns. Having witnessed legends like Sitara Devi, Sonal Mansingh, Mallika Sarabhai, Pandit Durga Lal and Malavika Sarukkai live on stage, I can still say that the joy and fulfilment we felt last evening ran deeper. It rekindled a quiet confidence that our classical dance traditions are in safe, sensitive and capable hands.
