The theme of this dance is based on famous Ratrisutra of the Rigveda. The day departs, dusk sets in, the atmosphere is surcharged with impending approach of Night. In majesticc strides Night descends on Earth spreading a pall of Darkness inspiring awe in the mind of man and creatures. Human activities and drudgeries have ended. Incence burns, the temple bells gingle involing prayers for peace and protection. Starts follow Night like maids-in-waiting: the Moon peeps in Night sports with Moon and pours down nectar: the Moon does likewise in response. The stars and the Moon bathe Nature in hallowed sublime light: the heart is reassured and seeks repose in the Mother's lap. The all pervading Night lulls everybody into sweet oblivion, feeding them with sweet nectar from her loving breasts. Cares and worries vanish; new hopes and aspirations have been engendered a new life has begun. The dance depicts all aspects of Night-its terrifying, tranquilizing and its serene sublimity.
