Presented by Rukmini Vijayakumar
Acclaimed Bharatanatyam artist Rukmini Vijayakumar brings to life Ishwara—a deeply personal and philosophical exploration of love, loss, and self-realization. Dedicated to her father, K. Vijayakumar, this spellbinding solo performance delves into the eternal dance of Shiva and Parvati, symbolizing the union of the manifest and unmanifest, Purusha and Prakriti, the masculine and feminine forces that shape the cosmos.
Through a visually stunning and emotionally evocative narrative, Rukmini weaves together Vedantic wisdom and timeless Puranic tales, breathing life into the human emotions, humor, and longing embedded within them. Each piece in the repertoire unfolds a different facet of devotion, self-discovery, and surrender to the divine.
