Krishna-Leela: A Tale of Love & Childhood (DEC 8)

Event closed

Krishna-Leela: A Tale of Love & Childhood is the enchanting story of an extraordinary boy and the unwavering love of the mother who nurtures him. From the miraculous circumstances of his birth, Krishna’s life is a tapestry woven with wonder. Tales of his playful mischief—whether stealing butter as a toddler or teasing village maidens in his adolescence— are as renowned as his awe-inspiring feats of vanquishing demons and safeguarding his loved ones. 

Ultimately, Krishna embarks on the journey to fulfill his destiny as a respected warrior and statesman, and Yashoda and the villagers must face the bittersweet moment of bidding him farewell. Depicted through the language of bharatanatyam with live music, this nostalgic tale invites audiences to experience the transformative power of childhood and the enduring strength of maternal love.
