Panchabhutas- A dance performance

Indian belief associates the origin of life with the five basic elements – PanchaBhutas – Namely Prithvi (earth), Jal (water), Tejas (fire), Vayu (air), and Akash (ether) Each of the elements has its own unique rhythm, sound, color, emotion, quality and nature and it is said that the human ‘soul’ experiences pleasure and pain through them. These elements are thus kept in a certain balance in the universe and the body lacking which can cause natural disasters or diseases. The Indian system of belief in Divinity also worships the divine as a manifestation of these basic elements.

Together we all made a humble attempt to share our interpretation of the Panchabhutas through this performance which has derived its inspiration from Bhartanatyam and kathak dance forms.
Hope you recognise me :):)
