Celebrating #operationsindoor Tiranga Yatra on May 23, 2025.

मृदंग शक्ति”: MRIDANG SHAKTI – The Rhythm of Empowerment

Mridang Shakti is a powerful and path-breaking performance that challenges age-old notions and redefines tradition through rhythm. In this inspiring showcase, young women take center stage with the Pakhawaj, a classical Indian percussion instrument long perceived as the domain of men due to its size, strength, and complexity.

Traditionally regarded as a symbol of masculine energy, the Pakhawaj now becomes the voice of feminine power and resilience. These talented girls not only master its technical demands but also infuse it with grace, precision, and fierce determination — proving that strength knows no gender.

Mridang Shakti is more than just a musical presentation — it is a celebration of women empowerment. It resonates with the idea that when given the opportunity, women can excel in any field, break any stereotype, and carry forward even the most rigid traditions with fresh vigour and dignity.

Through every beat and rhythm, this performance echoes a message: the power of the drum is not bound by gender — it is fueled by spirit, passion, and purpose. Let the reverberations of Mridang Shakti awaken the world to the unstoppable force of empowered womanhood.

सारंगी में : श्री राजेश मिश्रा जी

प्रस्तुति में भाग लेने वाले विद्यार्थी है : पखावज पर महिमा यादव, मोनाल गोसाई, पूजा शाह और प्रज्ञा गोस्वामी प्रस्तुत हैं :”मृदंग शक्ति”।
