2. Songs of Love and Longing

An evening of love and longing through the immortal words of Jayadeva’s Geet govinda as the Odissi duo weave magic through the story of Radha and Krishna. The colour midnight blue reminds of the dark night sky as an Abhisarika Radha goes to meet her beloved Lord Krishna. Radha’s friend asks her to remove all adornments that would make the slightest sound and wear a blue sari so that she can become one with the midnight. Her beloved the Blue lord himself anxiously waits for her on the banks of the river Yamuna. An evening dedicated to the Neelavari Radha and her Blue lord Krishna is Songs of love and longing by the Nrityagram.
