Yuvak Biradari (Bharat)

It is a historical journey from Vedic times to Independent India, featuring amongst other events, the struggle for freedom interwoven with songs and music of rare beauty, and well choreographed and gracefully executed dance sequences making this ballet a memorable experience, bringing to fore the past and the present glory of the land, which is India.
India has experienced it all—foreign invasions, monstrous suppression, imperial exploitation are all part of its history. Great kings and emperors have ruled and gone, leaving behind them magnificent monuments and cities. Great sages and messiahs have preached and laid down new paths of religious thought and practice. Great scholars and intellectuals who have understood the need of our millions have given them constructive energy through their thoughts and actions. All this and much more has become part of our glorious heritage.
Today, again, when the clouds of socio-cultural disparity are darkening our horizon, the time has come for the quest of those values and principles, for rediscovering our glorious heritage—of finding new paths, rededicating ourselves to the duty and service of our nation by following the paths and principles etched out by great men in every age and every province of our land, of making such resolutions that have persisted and enriched our lives from the Vedic times to the Gandhian Era. Punyatirtha Bharat is truly a musical pilgrimage drawing inspiration from our rich cultural heritage, recounting most major events and people who have played an important role in our glorious past. Through this ballet, Biradari has endeavored to inspire our present generation and rekindle the lamp of our true knowledge, tradition and culture by depicting 65 major historic incidents and recounting most of the people who played important roles in our glorious past.

"This is a brilliant example of inter-disciplinary learning, and integrating arts for better education. We are glad that the National Education Policy of 2020 also promotes this concept"

A certain reaction that every audience has given so far to it is: "Every Indian must see this at least once."

Some of the feedback we received for Punyatirtha: "What is it that Mother India feels, thinks, believes in. You get to know that in Punyatirtha. You get to hear from Bharat Maataa."
