Adishakti’s URMILA is a thought-provoking play that delves into the
complex ethical and gender-related issues that have been woven into the
fabric of society throughout history. Set in the ancient land of
Ayodhya, the play centres on the character of Urmila from the Ramayana, a
woman whose life is dramatically altered by a seemingly innocuous
command from her husband, Lakshmana: "Sleep." This deceptively simple
directive raises profound questions about autonomy, consent, and the
price individuals, especially women, have paid for their obedience
throughout time.

experiencing a spiritual Rasa or emotion. Ancient Indian texts highlight
how dance can become an immersive experience for everyone involved.
Since this Swarna Saroja event is dedicated to their Guru who
established Ganesa Natyalaya 50 years ago, it starts with the Guru
Stotram. This is followed by a tribute to the female Goddess, Devi,
which extols the virtues of the Goddess through a keerthanam. The third
piece is an exploration of the holy city of Kashi which takes into its
fold, all negative and positive energies of its devotees and thereby
unburdens them. The concluding piece is the Raasa Leela that explores
the profound truth where we all yearn to unite with that One Supreme
Power.
