Ode to Navarathri Festival Presented by Ragamala Dance Company

Join us prior to the performance of Written in Water for Ragamala’s singular expression of the South Indian festival of Navarathri Kolu, a time when families welcome friends and neighbors into their homes for a communal gathering rooted in the sharing of art.

Part installation and part community arts festival, Ode to Navarathri translates a culturally rooted experience from Ranee’s upbringing in Chennai, India, into a universal celebration of art and life.

With a giant traditional Kolu display and a short documentary film, please join us to learn more about how the South Indian Navarthri Kolu tradition is celebrated in Minnesota.
