Even though we call it a dance, it’s actually a drama,” Subramanyam said. “We want to invoke the rasa, or the emotions, into the audience so they can experience what the heroes and the heroines are feeling.” Certain physical themes in Indian dance are aimed at bringing the audience into the story, Subramanyam said. “What is unique about the Indian dance styles is the aspect of storytelling,” Subramanyam said. “Indian dance styles are unique in they really combine body movements and facial expressions.” Indian culture, in some ways, is already taking deep roots in western culture. Yoga, an ancient practice of stretching, meditation, and breathing techniques, is hugely popular in the United States. The Yoga Alliance, a nonprofit trade association, conducted a study showing in 2014 36.7 million people in the United States practiced yoga. Roja Kannan, another professional dancer performing at TriNethra and the guest artist of the festival, said she sees Indian dance taking a similar path in American culture.

The black-and-white sketches were created when Chitrakar worked as the principal artist to the then British resident Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894). According to Puspha Chitrakar, the sixth generation descendant of Raj Man Singh, Hodgson was interested in Buddhism and wanted to know more about the Buddhist culture.“In that process, Hodgson met Raj Man Singh to document the places which were important in the Buddhist religion,” he revealed. Through Raj Man Singh’s sketches one can see a thinly settled Valley, areas covered with paddy fields and forests, settlements with a large number of temples and stupas rather than houses. He did not miss to fill in the details of designs of religious monuments. In one sketch ‘Temple of Narayan at Narayanhitti’, the shikhar-styled temple is surrounded by traditional houses and huge trees. A few people are passing the temple. Looking at the sketch you will not doubt the popular belief that Maru’s Kasthamandap was build using wood from one single tree. His drawings give a perspective on the history of Valley and how it has changed over time. The majority of his works are at the British Library, Royal Asiatic Society, British Museum (Natural History) and Musee Guimet. The original copies of 40 sketches in the exhibition are at the Royal Asiatic Society, London. At the exhibition’s opening ceremony, Arun Saraf, Chairman of The Saraf Foundation for Himalayan Traditions and Culture, announced that Nepal Architecture Archive, under the Foundation, will be archiving architecturalheritage and culture related material and artefacts for future references.
