Guru Brahma is a prayer in praise of Guru representing the Hindu Trinity Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva in creating, sustaining knowledge and destroying the weeds of ignorance.

Spring’s arrival—a time of hope, joy, color, and merriment—is a traditional cornerstone of Indian poetry and dance, but its vibrant emotions are known worldwide. This universal feeling fuels the core theme of “Oneness - The Blossoming”: celebrating our shared human connection through the season of renewal. This unique production is the result of a powerful collaboration featuring seven Indian classical dance exponents - Mousumi Bose, Madhuri Kishore, Deepa Mahadevan, Niharika Mohanty, Chandreyee Mukherjee, Bindu Pratap, and Anupama Srivastava - masters of six diverse traditional styles: Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam, and Odissi, alongside their companies forming a stunning ensemble.
Presented by Yuva Bharati.

Starting off our Informal Program recap, we’d like to highlight our adorable pre-training group! They performed “Poush Toder Daak Diyeche”, choreographed by our very own Kanika Mitra Bhattacharya. This song by Rabindranath Tagore celebrates the harvest season and is an invitation to leave behind indoor isolation and join the festivities happening outdoors, as nature’s bounty is to be enjoyed by all.
Performers: Rishma, Reva, Keya, Advita, Shloka
