Welcoming three new sponsors who have stepped up to support Dhvani and the performing arts. Please welcome House of Vrishaba, Made by Megha, and SRB Silks, three local businesses that sell saris, art illustrations, and more. Join us in welcoming these new local businesses and support them when you can. Buy local and remember they are our neighbors, too. When you buy from small local companies, you are helping pay for their children's music or dance classes, not a private yacht.

The bioplay 'Enchantment' makes no attempt to rewrite Pandit Ravi Shankar’s life story. But it probes into his struggles, personal weaknesses and regrets, to understand how he kept his dreams alive on the bumpy journey to stardom. This approach enables the playwright, actors and viewers, to arrive at fresh insights into the character of the protagonist. It also highlights a universal truth: human grit has the power to transform trials into triumphs.

'Enchantment' blends the written text with live dancing and recorded music. The music features Pandit Ravi Shankar’s original sitar recordings, and his compositions rendered exclusively for Enchantment by Bombay Jayashri – with Aditya Prakash, Vignesh Ishwar, and Chaitra Sairam.

PLAY, DIRECTION, DESIGN: Gowri Ramnarayan
