Dance of the Divine Enchantress (Norton Simon)
NortonSimon.org, Pasadena, California; Ashley Wells (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
Award-winning dancer and
choreographer Vijayalakshmi from India performs Mohiniyattam, a classical form of
Indian dance from Kerala state, in the southern region. It is deeply
rooted in the sacred feminine and celebrates energy, power, and strength (shakti, viriya, parvati)
by using graceful movements and dramatic expression. Visit the museum's massive permanent Buddhist art collection downstairs, featuring treasures from India, Southeast Asia, Tibet, Japan, Korea, and China with Jain and Hindu items as well.
