About The Event
The Living Gita | Classical Dance and Devotional Performance Series
Experience the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita not just as ancient scripture, but as a vibrant, lived reality.
Presented by Sarfojiraje Bhosale BNT & R Centre and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, The Living Gita bridges profound philosophy (darshana) with evocative expression (abhinaya), transforming sacred knowledge into an immersive sensory journey of rasa.
