(Manesh Maharaj)The Kala Darshan Institute of classical music and dance is to present Bhavrang, a Kathak dance recital by Guru Shri Manesh Maharaj, on February 25 in Chatsworth.
Originating in the temples of Northern India and later flourishing in the courts of Mughal emperors, Kathak is distinguished by intricate rhythm, graceful pirouettes and evocative expression. Its complex footwork and breath-taking spins have made it one of the world’s most cherished classical dance styles.
Bhavrang explores the technical brilliance as well as the expressional aspect of Kathak. It is a journey through various moods and emotions set against vibrant rhythms, retaining the spiritual essence of Kathak.
The solo recital will take place on February 25 at the Ved Mandir (Aryan Benevolent Homes), Unit 6 (Chatsworth) commencing at 18h00. Admission is free. Live music accompaniment will be provided by students of Kala Darshan: Ketan Surjuprosad (tabla); Reshma Raghunath & Seendira Maharaj (vocals); Trishana Sookrim (harmonium) and Bhavta Harrielall (padhant).
