Shrimant Yogi, a Bharatanatyam endeavour, attempts to capture a few impressions of a phenomenon that was - Shivaji Maharaj. The premise of the performance is the cultural, social and emotional state of the society and Shivaji himself. The entire performance far from the chronological life and history of Shivaji Maharaj, is more of an impressionistic dance expression.
Three hundred years of Mughal rule... a wounded society... birth of the saviour... pledge of swarajya... war against the oppressors... establishment of Hindavi swarajya… inner spiritual conflict... the coronation…becoming Chatrapati Shivaji... the rule of dharma.
This is an inspiring tale of sacrifices, of war and conflict, of establishing Swarajya and of dharma. This is a story of a true Karmayogi- Shivaji Maharaj.
