This portrait, Shringaar Rasa, is a celebration of Bharatanatyam—a South Indian classical dance form where storytelling unfolds through the body. The image captures a dancer in a moment of graceful stillness, yet it vibrates with deep emotion, evoking the essence of Shringara—the rasa of love, beauty, and divine longing. Her pose, expression, and ornate costume speak to a ritual passed down through centuries, a language of devotion carried in movement. As part of Rituals: Roots & Echoes, this work reflects how traditional art forms anchor diasporic identity. Bharatanatyam was once performed as an offering in temples. Today, it continues to echo across continents and generations, transforming living rooms and stages into sacred spaces of connection. Through this photograph, I honor not only the artistry of the dancer but also the timeless rituals that shape who we are and who we become across distance and time.
