The sculptures of yore are silent evidences of the antiquity of the Indian classical dance. The traditional sacred text shows the close association of religion with dance. The divine concept of the cosmos and the philosophy of Indian thought pervade and form a backdrop to the dance techniques. All the classical dance forms use basically the same 'mudras' or signs of hand as a common language of expression which eventually became a part of 'Natya Shastra'. With this note, we would like to give a brief insight on the program 'Sanskruti' for your kind perusal.
'Sanskruti' an interschool classical dance competition was held on 29 & 30 Jan 2019 at the Bal Bhavan Auditorium, Bangalore. The program witnessed the participation from various schools of Bangalore with 52 performances (solo and group inclusive).
