The Shantanand Festival of Arts has always been a platform for celebrating cultural heritage and artistic innovation. This year, the festival dives into the Ramayana, reimagining the epic through performances, workshops, and interactive showcases. Festival Director Dr. Dhanya Thurairajah, and Production Director Kishore Krishnan, join us to share insights into the creative process behind this year's festival, what makes this year’s event special, and to share how this three-day event will bring ancient stories to life through dance, music, workshops, and a spectacular feature production titled I AM RA.
