Through its artistic narrative, it beautifully conveys the timeless ethos of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, while celebrating the profound beauty and spiritual depth of Indian classical music. The production features several bandish compositions by Padma Shri Balwantrai Bhatt and Shri Shankar Shripad Bodas.
