Performers in sumptuous costumes create a captivating living-picture, transporting you back in time to the richness of the Mughal Empire with a surprising contemporary twist.

Funny, joyful, and an empowering journey of discovery, Mughal Miniatures: The Awakening is complimented with incredible dancing and a brilliant original soundtrack.
