🩰 About the Event

Mayukha – meaning a ray of light – is not just a performance, but a heartfelt celebration of Indian classical dance. This year's edition features a soulful Mohiniattam solo recital by Nayana Prakash, a disciple of Padma Bhushan Dr. Kanak Rele and and alumni of Nalanda Nrityakala Mahavidyalaya.

This event is a tribute to the elegance and spiritual depth of Kerala’s traditional dance form, performed in the Nalanda Bani style – known for its grace, structure, and emotional richness.
