Hindu Students Association Presents: Milan 2015

Hindu Students Association proudly presents Sur Aur Taal Ka Milan, which translates to “Meeting of Rhythm and Melody.” Milan uniquely showcases student talent in the area of the Indian classical performing arts, including dance, vocal, and instrumental. The Art Forms at Milan: Music There are two types of Indian classical music, Hindustani music from North India and Carnatic music from South India. The origins of Indian classical music can be found from the oldest of scriptures, part of the Hindu tradition, the Vedas. Samaveda, one of the four Vedas, describes music at length. Dance (Natya) There are eight classical Indian dance forms: Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniaattam, Odissi, and Sattriya. Natya is a sincere depiction of the divine, realities in life, an embodiment of the imagination and gracefulness. A very important feature of Indian classical dances is the use of mudras or hand gestures. Mudras are used by the artists to express their feelings or even a whole story.
