DANCE INDIA TASTE INDIA is yet another inspired idea to create a greater awareness of the ancient and rich heritage to which we belong. It flows like an unending river of beauty and light bringing joy to all who come to its banks. Invoking the Grace of the Divine Mother The Temple would like to invite you to experience the ancient Vedic ritual of the homam or fire sacrifice. Special mantras are chanted as we offer different types of grains into the fire, invoking the grace and blessings of the Divine Mother. The Vibrations generated from this early morning ritual is beneficial to all. The Vibrant Colors of Dance and Music Starting from 7.30pm, the Temple of Fine Arts presents its students as well as its senior performers in a joyous celebration of dance and music.
