(Based on Shrimad Bhagwat “Dashma Skandh” 10th Chapter)

Uma Sharma’s Maha Raas Leela: This particular Maha Raas is unique in that it combines the traditional Raas of Brindaban with classical Kathak, a field in which Uma Sharma has done considerable research. Conceptualized by Uma Sharma, it is a unique blend which pinpoints her creative originality as a choreographer and also shows her concern for placing Kathak in its true perspective as a dance for the Gods, to the Gods, in the home of the Gods – in the temples. She has attributed the dedication with which she has pursued research in Maha Raas and presenting it to the people, to the inspiration given to her by the late Smt. Kamladevi Chattopadhyaya. Based on the 10th chapter of Shreemad Bhagvat and describing Lord Krishna’s dance with the gopis on a full moon night, Uma Sharma’s Maha Raas Leela is not just a dance; it is unique philosophical journey of each gopi looking for her Krishna both within and outside of her.

About HCL Concert Series:  Started in 1998 it provides a platform to upcoming young Indian classical artists to express their talent.
