The India Habitat Centre has introduced a novel initiative titled 'Samlapa: The Discourse,' a monthly book discussion series designed to shed light on India's rich cultural heritage. This series, supported by the Bharat Bodh Kendra, was inaugurated with a lamp-lighting ceremony and aims to foster a dialogue around India's civilizational legacy.
The Bharat Bodh Kendra, situated within the Habitat Library and Research Centre, houses a diverse compilation of resources across Indian art, music, spirituality, and more. The inaugural book of the series, 'Odissi Dance: Aesthetics, Therapeutics, Metaphysics,' authored by renowned Odissi dancer and curator Reela Hota, set the stage for an insightful discussion on classical dance forms and their philosophical underpinnings.
Chaired by Prof. (Dr.) K.G. Suresh, the event featured a panel of eminent scholars who shared their insights on the influence of Natya Shastra and yoga on classical dance. The initiative was widely commended, paving the way for future enriching explorations and workshops under the Bharat Bodh Kendra's canopy.
