Navaratri Specials at Temple of Fine Arts, Brickfields. Kuala Lumpur . Malaysia

[Guest guest]

Everyday for 9 days between 27th September and 5th October, come to

Temple of Fine Arts and enter a color full and delightful world of

ancient Vedic Fire sacrifice, songs, music and dance, magnificent

artifacts and delicious food.

 

In conjunction with the auspicious festivals of Navarathri, The

Temple of Fine Arts presents DANCE INDIA TASTE INDIA, an extravaganza

of culture, cuisine and craft.

 

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. You will witness the very young take their first basic steps

in dance as well as be amazed by the passion and power of the senior

performers of the institution. Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kathak, folk

dance and even contemporary dance!

Music from both North and South India. Contemporary Indian Music and

some of the best voices in bhajan and Hindustani music you could ever

hear. And there may be a few surprises from our non-Indian friends in

the performing arts! There is no charge for the performances.

 

The Poetic Passion of Artisans

Even as you enter, things of beauty will catch your eye. Dance India

taste India is also an exhibition of artifacts. Watch and learn how

artisan create from an artiste heritage passed down from generations

to generations: Ikat/Pua Weaving, Stone carving; Tyedyeing, Zari

work; Embroidery; Silver filigree work. These will be on display and

technique demonstrations presented as specific times during the

festivals. Make your selection from traditional attire created by

Shivanjali Creations, furnishing, furniture, artifacts, and unique

gift ideas. It's a wide range of beautiful things that will make

a

difference to your living space. Everything is created from nature

–

earth, stone, metal, wood and fiber.

 

Tastes and Flavors you will never forget

As the tradition at the Temple of Fine Arts, our grandmother and

mothers love to cook for all who come to us. A whole range of Indian

vegetarian delights awaits you. Meals, snacks, desserts and

specialties from both the North and the South will be offered

everyday for lunch, tea and dinner. And it is the same unique concept

as in Annalakshmi, "Eat-as-You-Wish-Give-as-You-Wish!"
