A solo Bharatanatyam performance by Dr. Apoorva Jayaraman

Is He the creator, or is He my creation? Does God reside in art, or is art a path to the divine? Do I seek Him, or is She already within me?

The Idea of God is a full-length solo Bharatanatyam performance that traverses Indian thought and literature — from the ancient Vedas and Sangam texts to revolutionary writing of the 21st century.

Through a series of powerful and rarely explored narratives, this evocative performance probes the evolving idea of the divine in Indian philosophy.

Blending classical rigour with contemporary insight, Dr. Apoorva Jayaraman invites audiences to reflect on where the divine truly resides — in form, in feeling, or within the self. This is not simply a recital, but a layered enquiry into the many ways we imagine God.
