Event Description

Saadhika brings together the lives and poetry of two extraordinary women mystics - Lal Ded of Kashmir and Andal of Tamil Nadu.

Presented through Odissi and Bharatanatyam respectively, the production explores how both women turned devotion into a deeply personal language of longing, resistance and spiritual freedom. Separated by geography, language and tradition, their voices find unexpected echoes in one another through movement and expression. As the two classical forms unfold side by side, they create a dialogue between distinct cultural worlds. Saadhika invites audiences to encounter these timeless women not only as poet-saints, but as individuals who chose to seek the divine on their own terms.
