Panchabhootam - Earth, Air, Water, Fire & Space


Panchabhootam is a unique theatrical production that brings together Indian music and Classical dance, accentuated by stunning mutimedia visuals, depicting the five elements of nature - Earth, Air, Water, Space and Fire. It was performed to a house full audience at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center in Atlanta. The original music score deftly journeyed through Carnatic, Hindustani, Western harmony to orchestral rendition and was performed by a 15 member Indian Choir (ICE - Indian Choir and Ensemble) .

The dance was choreographed keeping intact all the nuances of Bharatanatyam, a classical dance art form from the southern part of India. Panchabhootam was a blazing success and got a standing ovation from over 600 people, who attended the show. All the proceeds from the show were dedicated to OSAAT - One School At A Time, a non profit organization, that provides education to the underprivileged children in India.

Nataraja Temple Chidambaram

Nataraja or Nataraj (Hindustani: [nət̪əˈraːdʒ], The Lord (or King) of Dance; Tamil: கூத்தன் (Kooththan)) is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. Nataraja is most often depicted through a statue. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as "Sabesan" which splits as "Sabayil aadum eesan" in Tamil which means "The Lord who dances on the dais".The form is present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the main deity in the famous temple at Chidambaram.[1]

Chidambaram Temple Seva - Isha Foundation


"So when I went to the Chidambaram temple, I was almost in tears. Whoever built this temple are not ordinary people. At a time when there was no machinery, when there were no trucks, no cranes -- tremendous human beings. As engineers, as artists, as human beings -- incredible people. Now, we are keeping it like a dump. We cannot build a place like that, but can't we at least maintain this place for what it is? Even if you do not believe in the sanctity of the place, at least just as a monument, as a work of art, can't we keep it well?"
