Tarana in Raag Hamsadhwani | Kathak Dance by Anurekha Ghosh

Experience a mesmerizing Kathak Tarana performed by Anurekha Ghosh, streamed on March 18th, 2022 during Friday Evening Ragas 2, curated by Sudokshina Manna Chatterjee. This Tarana, composed in Raag Hamsadhwani, recalls the elegance of the Mughal era when Kathak flourished at its artistic peak. Originating from the creative genius of Sufi saint Hazrat Amir Khusro, the Tarana is enriched with rhythmic syllables often blended with Farsi, creating a powerful spiritual resonance. This choreography is by Guru Vidushi Smt. Durga Arya (also known as Durga Aaiya or Didi).
