Epics for comfort in 2020

In a year like this, memories of epics watched last year are bringing in some comfort. Got a chance to see various depictions of epics and that is so comforting.

Most of the epic performances are goosebump inducing whether a live concert or on movie theatre screen.

Mahisasurmardini performance by Natyakala Dance Group, Minnesota . This performance was for the India Fest 2019 at St Paul Capitol grounds.





Yakshadhruva Patla Sathish Shetty and team performed Mahishasurmardini in Hindu Society of Minnesota on 20-July 2019.




In March 2020, Doordarshan began telecasting Ramayana and Mahabharatha on TV, twice a day, to keep folks interested in staying home during the 2019 lockdowns. We tried watching the offline version on TV.



Whenever I have bought any superhero or Film or TV memorabilia dolls, I realized, this is the west version of murti-pujan. It has art, scuplture, emotion, devotion.

Watching Avengers Endgame last year in theatre did bring in the Mahishasurmardini pparallels.
