She is Vanavāsini. The performance draws from a moment in the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa\, when Rāma\, Sītā\, and Lakṣmaṇa visit the āśrama of sages Atri and Anasūyā. Sītā’s tender interaction with Anasūya puts her at ease in the forest. With warmth and affection\, Anasūyā shares words of wisdom\, beautiful jewellery\, and flowers that never fade. The wise sage then asks Sītā to recount the story of her marriage to Rāma. As she relives the joyous moments of the svayaṃvara\, the moonlit forest awakens as a living witness to the poetry of Rāma and Sītā’s eternal love. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMentored by: Padma Shri Awardee\, Malavika Sarukkai as part of the Kalavaahini Scholarship 2025 \n\n\n\nLyrics & Scholarly insights: Padma Bhushan\, Shatavadhani Dr. R Ganesh \n\n\n\nBased on the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa \n\n\n\nMusic Composition: Mahesh Swamy & Smruthi Bhaskar \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Artiste\n\n\n\nDivya Hoskere is among the most prominent voices in Bharatanatyam today\, critically acclaimed for her rare sensitivity to abhinaya\, precision of technique and nuanced choreography. She is the foremost disciple of Sri P. Praveen Kumar at the Chithkala School of Dance.
