Life is a story of emotions(rasas) and one of the best ways to express emotions without uttering a word is dance. It is a type of art that is created by consciously replicating specific sequences of human motion. This is why Guru Surendra Nath Jena included the beat of everyday life into his Odissi dance interpretation. The resulting style, which became recognized by his name, is widely regarded as considerably different, if not radical, from that of his contemporaries. This was his road to the sublime, where he danced to express his love for God.

Have you ever wondered what Indian Art was like before Western influences? When Canvas boards, brushes, and paints weren’t available to us? We are familiar with cave paintings, but what about art that could be bought?

Tribal Art is a great topic to focus on in this regard, for their practices are based entirely on the functioning of their communities.

Pottery is the music of life that plays on in a pile of clay. Clay has always remained one of mankind’s oldest tools used to sculpt.

**A story about a boy whose life was nothing but full of struggles and obstacles. This was Kunti's eldest son, 'KARAN,' and so the Pandavas' half-brother.** **Karna is one of the main protagonists in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Although he was crowned as the king of Anga by Duryodhana of the Kaurava clan, his significance in the mythology greatly outweighs that of a king. He fought for the Kauravas in the great battle at Kurukshetra.**

In the Mahabharata, each character's life is marked by struggle and sacrifice. One such central character of Mahabharata is BHISHMA. He is a model of loyalty, unselfish service, and paropakara (self-sacrifice for the benefit of others). He is regarded as a sign of mature wisdom by the Indian people.
