INDRADHANUSH is a festival of Indian Classical dances by young professionals. The name INDRADANUSH itself signifies variegated splendour of our seven Classical traditional dance forms and also their integrity in belonging to one nation, India . All Classical dances have their origin in the shastras , the Natya Veda . They all comprise of Nritta- the pure dance aspect, Nritya - the expressional dance aspect, Abhinaya - the sentimental or emotional aspect and Natya - the dramatic element. But they have also their individuality in the fact that they have their own styles and language of presentation and expression.
The classical art forms take years of rigorous and dedicated training to achieve that level of perfection that can be equalised to Divinity which is supposed to be nearest to perfection. It also takes hard work and years of meditation to become one with the art form. Very few people are able to actually achieve this state and it is to these people that we owe the carrying forward of these art forms in the form of teachers, choreographers and performers.
In INDRADANUSH Festival of Indian Classical dances for young professional we pay tribute to these youth who are not only the messengers of these art forms but also its protectors.
