Kathak veteran Uma Sharma and her group will perform at Kartavya Path on July 23 – an event organised by the Bhartiya Sangeet Sadan in collaboration with Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsava.

Kathak ki Kahani” promises to be an enchanting journey through the evolution of Kathak dance.

“As a senior dancer, I believe it is crucial for the public to truly understand the essence of Kathak dance. Today, we witness a gradual decline in the number of Kathak artists,” Uma Shankar told Patriot

“It is disheartening to see this beautiful art form losing its prominence. Kathak is not merely a dance; it is a gateway to our rich cultural heritage, a mesmerizing blend of rhythm, grace, and storytelling,” she added.

Kathak dance form depicts ‘Life’ and the three phases of creation, preservation and destruction “Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh” are clearly reflected through this media. It is, therefore, based on natural movements and is not confined to mudras. Its poses are more life-like than sculptures and abhinaya subtle and true to life cover a very large canvas. Ending with Vijayi Vishwa Tiranga Pyara, Jhanda Uncha Rahe Hamara by group dancers.

“Let us embrace and appreciate the magnificence of Kathak, preserving its legacy for generations to come. Together, we can revive its splendor and ensure that this timeless art form continues to enchant and inspire all who witness its magic,” she concludes

When: July 23, 2023 7:00 PM onwards
