This dance or Padam, titled Meera Bhajan, was Hemangi’s solo performance. A bhajan is a prayerful or devotional song, most often of ancient origin. These simple songs or acts are for pleasing or expressing emotions of love for the divine. Meera, also known as Mirabai and Meera Bai was a Hindu mystical poetess who composed hundreds of bhajans. Her bhajans were in the Bhakti tradition, a Sanskrit word meaning devotion. Within Hinduism, the word denotes devotion to a particular God and in the case of Meera Bai, her devotion was for Lord Krishna. Hemu’s recital utilized graceful, flowing movements to portray Meera Bai’s unconditional love for Krishna.
