Navarasa – The Mahabharata Experience by Apoorva Krishna brings together nine emotions and one epic

“If Indian classical music is designed to evoke emotion, what would happen if I built an entire concert around the nine fundamental emotions, the Navarasas, and let them unfold through a single, timeless narrative?” That was the question violinist Apoorva Krishna asked herself and the result was Navarasa – The Mahabharata Experience.

“The Mahabharata Experience was born from that simple but powerful question I kept returning to,” she says, adding that her latest thematic production is based on the emotions that The Mahabharata evokes. To be presented on March 14, Navarasa – The Mahabharata Experience has her exploring the nine fundamental emotions from this ancient Indian epic.
