Prabhodha The Awakening Bharatanatyam Presentation in Mysuru

Prabhodha The Awakening | Bharatanatyam by P. Praveen Kumar & Chithkala Ensemble | 18 Dec 2025 | JCAC Mysuru

Prabhodha – The Awakening is a powerful Bharatanatyam presentation that brings together tradition, storytelling, rhythm, and spiritual expression. It is one of the highlight performances of the Mysuru Yoga Utsava 2025, taking place on 18 December 2025 at JCAC Mysuru. This classical dance showcase is led by the renowned Bharatanatyam exponent P. Praveen Kumar, accompanied by the talented Chithkala Ensemble.

Bharatanatyam, one of India’s oldest dance traditions, is known for its grace, precision, and ability to convey deep emotions through movement. Prabhodha – which translates to awakening – is conceptualized as an artistic journey that brings the audience closer to timeless themes of consciousness, inner light, and spiritual elevation. Through expressive gestures, rhythmic footwork, and intricate choreography, the performers create an immersive visual narrative.

P. Praveen Kumar is celebrated across India and abroad for his technical mastery and emotive storytelling. His choreography blends classical purity with contemporary sensitivity, making his performances deeply impactful. For this presentation, he leads the Chithkala Ensemble, a group of highly trained dancers who bring richness, symmetry, and visual depth to every sequence.

The Mysuru Yoga Utsava celebrates the harmony between body, mind, culture, and heritage. This Bharatanatyam presentation aligns beautifully with the festival’s mission, offering attendees a peaceful yet powerful artistic experience. Prabhodha – The Awakening reminds audiences that classical dance is not only entertainment but a form of meditation, discipline, and spiritual expression.

The event will be held at JCAC Mysuru, a cultural hub dedicated to promoting artistic excellence. The venue provides an intimate atmosphere ideal for classical performances, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the expressions, rhythms, and aesthetic beauty of Bharatanatyam.
