Culture | Dance of the divine

The excitement currently whirling around the corridors of Mumbai’s National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) is palpable. Its focal point is their annual dance festival, Mudra 2025, which began on April 3 and will continue until April 29. This year’s Mudra features over 100 performers, including accompanying musicians. Audiences are being treated to performances of classical dances such as Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kathak and Kuchipudi, as well as folk dances at multiple venues across the NCPA.
