Event Description

Bahinabai Chaudhari is a Bharatanatyam production based on the life and verses of Bahinabai Chaudhari—a farmer-poet from Maharashtra whose oral poetry, composed in the Ahirani dialect, has become a symbol of rural wisdom and resilience.

Through intricate abhinaya, live music and evocative movement vocabulary, the performance explores the lived experiences of a woman rooted in the rhythms of nature, farming, motherhood, loss, and spiritual insight. The production blends the classical grammar of Bharatanatyam with the rustic rawness of folk emotion, presenting Bahinabai not just as poet, but as a voice of resilience, tenderness and fiercely keen observance.
