Hello Dear friends,

Please join me in this auspicious ceremonial Odissi Dance performance depicting the Hindu, 10 armed goddess Durga. In this Dance Drama, Chandi, a form of Durga receives 10 weapons from the gods to give her the power to overcome Mahisasura, the demon of Ignorance.

I have attached in my blog an article that is to be published by Indian Currents Magazine's August Issue. It gives a more detailed description of this mythology. This article is written from the point of view of my dance Guru, Jyoti Rout, and edited by Nayantara Nandakumar.

Show dates:
Davis Show-Saturday August 9th 7pm
Berkeley Show- Sunday August 17th, 5pm

I have tix for both shows, and I want to put your name on a ticket.
I can offer tix at the discounted price of $12 (normally $18).
Please RSVP by August 1st, if I shall put some on reserve for you.

Feel free to spread the message of this show, and share it with your friends. It is just too good to miss! See e-flyer below for location details.
