Event Description
The eternal battle between truth and falsehood, good and evil, fought by a tiny band of 72 men, women and children in the harsh terrain of Karbala over 1400 years ago. This is what the month of Muharram commemorates. A wealth of classical poetry and ragas, transcending boundaries of language and community, accompany this tradition. This wealth belongs to us all. In the course of one evening, one family from the qasba of Mustafabad in the heart of Awadh, mines this wealth and shares it with us. They will present several of the art forms that emerged in the syncretic soil of Awadh, including Soz, Salaam and Marsiya, with narrative commentary in English, weaving the evening together. A unique cultural experience that’s in Bangalore for the first time.
