A group of girls (Sakhiyaan/ Friends) gathers to revel in the simple joys of companionship.
The story is told through dance, where a group of friends find a stranger in their midst. Amidst laughter and shared moments, their attention is captivated by the graceful movements of a young girl dancing. She is confident in herself but unsure of the group of friends. They seeing her confidence and ‘joie de vivre’ move to befriend her. The sakhiyaan (friends) decides to join her, weaving a tapestry of joy through the intricate steps. It is an ode to acceptance, inclusion and friendship.
The performance unfolds as a vibrant expression of unity, where the language of Kathak becomes the medium through which the girls cherish each other's presence, creating bonds that show how friendships shape our lives like the flowers and green of the garden.
