| "Le Carnaval" Performance elements
Celestial Dance Performances: "Bharat Natyam" is an ancient form of divine dance from South India, performed thousands of years ago in the seclusion of the temple’s inner chambers, not for the "public eye". Le Carnaval performs the divine dance in it’s traditional style and later in a stunning contemporary East meets West fusion dance. "Katak," a dance native to North India, is divinely graceful. An enchanting spectacle - each movement imbued with deep spiritual significance designed to elevate our consciousness and put us in touch with our "inner self." The classically trained ballerinas from Moscow’s Rasika Dance Company add a very special magical touch. Rajasthani village folk dance
"The Shyam Dance", a Rajasthani village folk dance performed by the “Le Carnavale” Dance Troupe is a dazzling and colourful representation of the soul's search for spiritual fulfillment. The Tribal Drummers of Manipur The unique dancing Manipur drummers is one of the highlights of the evenings entertainment. Renowned for their exotic, athletic dancing, this troupe captures the stage as they perform acrobatic feats and martial arts movements while flying through the air playing on their drums. Code of the Ancient Warriors "The dance of the warrior" Choreographed and put to music, this performance is mesmerising with its ballet of slight of hand and speed of sword. The audience is once again taken back through centuries, to a time when warriors developed martial arts to protect lands from marauding invaders. Though lethal, these martial arts were amazingly artistic and graceful in their style. Yoga Spectacular The enthralling "Yoga Spectacular" transports us to a subliminal space with its beautiful stylised yogic movements set to a celestial musical score. The Bhagavad-Gita Play A surreal, contemporary rendition of this great classic of Indian literature performed by the “Le Carnaval Players”. Highly stylized, the philosophical essence of the Gita is presented for us to ponder. 
Kirtan - Pure Musical Magic This ancient meditative genre of singing was virtually unknown in the West until the 1960s. Since then it has been growing in popularity and enjoying ever greater interest and recognition. Kirtan can range from the quietly meditative to the joyful and energising. Its distinctive feature is immersive audience participation: everyone feels part of the performance. 
Three of the world's most popular Kirtan performers will be taking part in the show. Indradyumna Swami, an enigmatic traveling monk who founded Le Carnaval Spirituel in Paris, France in 1979, has been circling the globe performing kirtan for over three decades, often to Woodstock-like crowds and has performed for many world leaders like Nelson Mandela. New Zealand-born Sri Prahlad catapulted to fame as a child prodigy in the late 1980s when his debut album "Through the Eyes of a Child" topped the Australian and world music charts. Since then his evolving distinctive style of Kirtan has brought him the love of audiences worldwide. Tribhuvaneshvar, affectionately known as Tribi, has enchanted music connoisseurs with his soft, melodious European style Kirtan.
