This film explores an important part of the culture of India – a dance form, bharatanatyam.  Relying on two masters trained in India’s famous Kalakshetra Institute, we see how the dance is intimately linked to India’s Hindu heritage.

The chief spokesperson in the documentary are Katherine Kunhiraman, and her husband the famous dancer K.P. Kunhiraman.  They founded a dance academy in California which serves the daughters of Indian immigrants anxious to pass their heritage on to the next generation.The dances are both beautiful and colorful, and the stories, fascinating.
