Season 17 Jiya Jale | Choreographed by Meera, Neha and Somaiah

Piece: Jiya Jale Choreographers: Meera Seshadri, Neha Kumar Bhatt and Somaiah Ajjinkanda Kaveriappa Piece description: “I am the flame, and you are the spark, A blaze ignited in the infinite dark. Come—lose yourself in this sacred fire, Burn away all that is not desire. What lingers then, through ash and air, Is truth… is love… beyond compare.” At the Janardana Temple, a thousand diyas bloom at dusk. With the final flame, the salt-kissed sea whispers to ancient walls … and the statues awaken. Bells echo in the dark as bodies carved in longing begin to dance. The hush of silk, the glint of gold, shadows unfurling against sacred stone. Each glance ignites. Each gesture beckons. The night belongs to them. “Jiya Jale,” choreographed by Meera Seshadri, Neha Kumar Bhatt, and guest choreographer Somaiah Ajjinkanda, is desire as devotion — where each night, the flame of love is renewed through ritual and rhythm.
