Manjari – Mystique Fragrances
Flowers are splendid creations of Nature; indispensible in our daily lives! And yet we take them for granted.
Have we ever given a Flower a second look and wondered about the profound marvel that it is, loved and revered since time immemorial?
MANJARI is an ode to the magic that resides in flowers;
an attempt to immortalize their role in this world.

“A laudable attempt to offer the audience the old in a new packing, arousing the audience interest in classical dance which is rarefied these days.”
– Ranee Kumar (Narthaki.com)
“A thoroughly researched and most interestingly scripted production!
Titled ‘MANJARI’, it has set a standard for how the traditional ‘Margam’ format can be presented with reinvigorated freshness.”
– Ramaa Bharadvaj
“MANJARI travelled beyond frames of structure, space and time to present Bharatanatyam in its most affable form, whilst yet within narrative format and mythical story genre.”
– Priya Raman
(Kalaparva)
“The interim jathis exemplified sophisticated choreography and Divya’s sense of aesthetics and technique shone through the entire item.”
– Harish Bal
(The Hindu)
“MANJARI, the Well-researched and sensitively-conceived Bharatanatyam Margam by this versatile artiste deals with the rare and often ignored stories of flowers.”
– Manjari Sinha
(The Statesman)
