Phule Phule Dhole Dhole: Mamata Shankar Revives "Kalmrigaya"

Witness a truly extraordinary dance performance featuring Smt. Mamata Shankar and her acclaimed Mamata Shankar Dance Company, alongside the talented students of Udayan Kala Kendra, bring to life Rabindranath Tagore’s exquisite song “Phule Phule Dhole Dhole” from his lyrical play Kalmrigaya (The Fatal Hunt). This captivating performance, captured live at Behala Sarat Sadan on June 27th, 2025, is a special tribute to the birth anniversary of her legendary mother, Amala Shankar. Kalamrigaya is a fascinating piece, penned by Rabindranath Tagore in 1882 at the remarkably young age of just 21, shortly after his return from England. It stands as one of his two early lyrical plays, alongside Valmiki Pratibha. Based on a poignant episode from the Valmiki Ramayana, the tragic accidental killing of Andhamuni's son by King Dasharatha, Tagore uniquely infused this work with Irish and British tunes, adding a distinctive melodious charm. In this video, you'll be transported by Mamata Shankar's masterful choreography, which beautifully interprets the lyrical and dramatic nuances of Tagore’s early genius. Experience the grace and emotional depth of the dancers as they tell this ancient tale through the unique Uday Shankar style. The timeless lyrics by Rabindranath Tagore and original music by Jyotindranath Tagore & Indira Devi Chaudhurani are perfectly embodied in this rare presentation. Don't miss this profound celebration of literary heritage, dance artistry, and a daughter's tribute to her mother's legacy. This performance is a must-watch for anyone interested in Tagore's early works, Indian classical dance, and the rich cultural tapestry of Bengal! 📍 Location: Behala Sarat Sadan, Kolkata, West Bengal, India 🗓️ Date: June 27, 2025 📝 Lyrics: Rabindranath Tagore 🎶 Music: Jyotindranath Tagore & Indira Devi Chaudhurani 💃 Choreography by: Mamata Shankar #MamataShankar #AmalaShankar #RabindranathTagore #Kalamrigaya #PhulePhuleDholeDhole #TheFatalHunt #UdayanKalaKendra #IndianDance #BengaliCulture #DancePerformance #Choreography #UdayShankarStyle #ClassicalDance #KolkataEvents #BehalaSaratSadan #CulturalHeritage #LivePerformance #TraditionalDance #ArtAndCulture #DanceCompany #IndiaArt #ViralDance #TagorePlays #JyotindranathTagore #IndiraDeviChaudhurani #Ramayana #LiteraryAdaptation #BengaliLiterature #IndianClassicalDance #PerformingArts #CulturalShow #BengaliMusic #TagoreEarlyWorks #HistoricalDance #DanceHistory #Kolkata #WestBengal
