Niratata shankara // Group Kathak Recital// Nritya Kalabihar// Choreographed by Indrani Basu

This is a mesmerizing Kathak dance composition composed by Padma Bivhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj ji, that portrays the cosmic union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, symbolizing the perfect balance between Tandav (power) and Lasya (grace). In Ardhanariswara, Shiva is depicted on the right and Parvati is depicted on the left side. When they are separated, the world materialises. The union of male and female or Purusha and Prakriti is a joyful experience that celebrates love and companionship. Music Composition: Padma Bivhushan Pt.
