The Ghungroo Revolution

A glimpse from last weekend’s performance by The Ghungroo Revolution at SAN Tv ‘s South Asian Music and Dance Festival 2026 ✨

Through Krishna Shabdam, we stepped into the world of Vaishnavi bhakti, portraying three Nayikas — each expressing a different shade of devotion and love for Lord Krishna. 💛🪷

It was a joy and privilege to bring this beautiful traditional piece to the stage and share the richness of Indian classical dance with the audience.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful organisers at SANTV for giving us this opportunity and for celebrating South Asian music and dance. 🙏✨
