Classical Fusion has been a fun and popular trend, where the juxtaposition of two styles immensely appeals to the our senses. Both styles have their roots in Natya Shastra yet they have their differences. A simple elegence that warms your soul - this is what Indian classical dancing is all about.

Episode 6

Ravana Vadham, Sita Agnipareeksha and Pattabhishekam

Good always wins in the end against evil
No matter how much it causes upheaval
Ohh Sita, Life is not fair and causes unrest
When the goodness is put to the test
But She emerges with her true divine quality
Let's pray for a world of peace and equality

Episode 5 - Soorpanaka

He is so Handsome, I want him to be mine
With love or deceit, I will let my desire shine
Alas her unrequited love turns to rage, her ego inflated
"My brother Ravana will avenge my insult," she retaliated

Stay tuned for our Final episode #6 - to be aired soon......

Episode 4 - Manthara and Kaikeyi

Manthara and Kaikeyi - antagonists derogated as being the harbinger of the epic Ramayana. But maybe Manthara thought that she was being true to her queen and wanted Kaikeyi's son Bharatha to be king - what's wrong with that? What is supposedly good in one's eyes can be ominous in another's.

Thoughts about this episode -

A lesson about perspective
Good and Bad are always subjective
Manthara was true to her queen
"Bharatha should be king,'" she was keen
Did she know that her action would be the turning point
She would be the "evil one" that history would annoint
