Shall We Dance Chapter 23 : Bharatanatyam at Khajuraho Dance Festival
In this podcast, Shantha & I talk abot how Khajuraho’s temples stand timeless, their sculptures frozen in graceful movement, waiting for dance to bring them alive. Bharatanatyam returns here, not just as art, but as devotion—where each step is a sacred offering.
We talk about the Khajuraho temples which were built by the Chandela dynasty, these temples embody a legacy where architecture, mythology, and dance unite. The festival revives this spirit, as dancers merge past and present, their rhythms echoing through history.
Shantha & I further discuss about how Natya Shastra breathes through every mudra, every expression, preserving a lineage that speaks beyond words. Legendary artists grace this stage, carrying forward an eternal tradition of storytelling and divinity.
Khajuraho is more than a venue—it is a promise, where Bharatanatyam is not just performed, but lived, felt, and worshipped in motion.
