Under the Uttaradhikar series of Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum, the Bhopalites enjoyed a delightful Sunday evening with classical performances. A tuneful series of Mohan Veena recital and Kathak dance performance was held at the tribal museum.
The event began with the performance of Manish Pingle. He played Mohan Veena along with his fellow artists.
He began playing the instrument with Raga Shyam Kalyan in bilambit teen taal. In the same raga he played dhrut teen taal leaving the audience spellbound.
To wrap up his performance, Manish played Mohan Veena with Raga Kirwani Kehrava Taal. The last performance was much loved by the audience.
Manish belong to Itawa Gharana and is the disciple of Ustad Shahid Parvez.
Manish was accompanied by his disciple Manas Goswami on Mohan Veena and Manoj Patidar on tabla.
After the wondrous performance, Madhumita Roy staged the 'Kathak dance' with her fellow dancers. She began with 'Ghoomar Dance'.
In this performance she defines the vast form of Shiva.
In this presentation, the word 'Om' meant the creation of the world and by fire with knowledge, the word Om was given to dance skill.
After Ghoomar dance, the artists presented 'Darbari' in Raga Darbari.
Mughal court was presented on stage in dance form in Darbari. In this presentation, the works and modes of Mughal court were presented.
Madhumita Roy presented 'Samubhav' the end of her dance presentation.
In this presentation, there was a dance of desire and tandava. It is believed that just like tandava, similarly according to Shiva's perspective, the desire is in the context of Lord Parvati.
Normally, the dance of women is called ‘Lasya’.
The artists presented the kathak that left the audience totally mesmerized.
