A different perspective
The Ramayana told from Jaanaki's vantage — her questions, her grief, her clarity.
The Story
The epic, heard from inside the fire
For many audiences, Sita is remembered through silence, obedience and exile. Jaanakiyan shifts the center of gravity. Jaanaki questions, remembers, chooses and survives. Through Kuchipudi, Marathi poetry and music, the performance gives Seeta a voice that is tender, fierce and impossible to ignore.
"Don't marry your daughter to any man from Ayodhya."
Classical rigor
Kuchipudi movement, abhinaya and dramatic storytelling, rooted in tradition.
Contemporary resonance
A living conversation on agency, love, duty and justice.
