Presenting songs from Naatak’s  GRAND MUSICAL, BUDDHA! 

Naatak’s annual musical is set in the sixth century BCE and written entirely in rhyme. The Shakya prince Siddharth leaves his father’s palace, attains enlightenment under a peepal tree to become Buddha, roams the kingdoms of Magadh and Kaushal to persuade the world, and alters the course of human history. The play features an ensemble cast, live music and dance. 

With a giant mural for a set, colorful costumes and imaginative props, the play is a visual treat, and a unique outdoor experience in the shade of lush maple and oak trees.

Playwright and Director: Sujit Saraf
Music Director: Nachiketa Yakkundi
Vocalists, Organ, and Tabla: Anitha Dixit, Amit Shenoy, Vinata Karra, Anand Karve, Ajay Sundar Raj
