South Gurukul Society presents BAHANA inspired by Devatas and their
Vahanas. The Indian dance space is abundant in its depiction of gods and
goddesses, with innumerable delineations of mythology and countless
portrayal of the deities in their varied forms. However, there is none
that delves into the discourse on their ‘Vahanas’ or mascots. Why did
they need them? Divine attributes made the gods and goddesses capable
enough to travel anywhere on their own. What was the purpose of the
Vahanas? Sutapa Talukdar explores this yet-unexplored facet of Indian
mythology and brings alive her exposition through a blend of creative
dance style, music and innovative stage representation.
Script: Saberi Rakshit, Sanghamitra Mukherjee, Choreography: Sutapa Talukdar
Music: Pt. Shuvankar Banerjee, Narration: Barun Chanda
