Event Description : Sangeet Natak Akademi presents Screening of "Aka Nandun" Kashmiri Play.

A tale is narrated by a faqir to folk dancers and jesters about a queen longing for a son after the birth of seven daughters named Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, Ahankara and Vilasa. She gets a boon from a maverick Sadhu to bless her with a son on the condition that the boy be named Aka Nandun and be returned to him after 12 years. After his birth, Aka Nandun is brought up as a prince. One day the Sadhu arrives and asks for the return of the 12-year boy. The queen tries to lure the Sadhu with money, land and jewellery, but he is adamant. After her persuasion fails, the Sadhu commands her to cut Aka Nandun into pieces and serve them on 11 plates. Finally she complies, and the Sadhu leaves directing her to call Aka Nandun aloud, upon which her son is restored to her.
