This short film is on the life and work of Ms. Damayanti Joshi, the renowned exponent of the Kathak dance form. The word Kathak is derived from kathakar or story-teller. Kathak is the art of storytelling. A story is interpreted through abhinaya - hand gestures, facial expressions and bodily movements. Originally performed in temples, this dance form was later performed in the royal courts. Formerly society girls were not allowed to take this dance form. But it was through the efforts Ms. Sokhi, wife of Major General Sokhi, such a stigma was eventually removed. Though long years of her hard work has been fruitful, she sees less hope as now students are not prepared to do the rigorous 'sadhana' to attain perfection.
