ABOUT THE PIECE:
Before the warriors entered the battle field, a lot of rituals were performed to pump up their energies so they step into the battle field as winners. Some of those involved chanting of sacred mantras, cleebrations

through song and dance, and showcasing the strengths of warriors through mock flights etc. This act is an “Indian Fusion Act” which uses Indian Classical and folk dances along with popular material arts of India by name “Kalari.”
