Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP) continues its initiative in providing a platform for the performances of Malaysian arts and culture. Fresh from its presentations of Mek Mulung Putera Cahaya Bulan, Randai Mudo Pak Belalang, Jit Sin High School’s Chinese Orchestra and Sanggar Seni last year, this time around, audience will be treated to a soul-stirring rhythm and colours of Indian performing arts by the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA) on Saturday, 6 September 2025 at 8.00 pm.
The highly anticipate showcase promises an immersive journey into the heart of Indian culture. Audience will be transported to a unique experience through the soulful melodies of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music. Adding a vibrant visual splendour to the evening, the DFP stage will come alive with exquisite presentations of four classical Indian dances; Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kathak and Kuchipudi.
The theme Ragas and Mudras is specially curated for this performance at DFP. Ragas is essentially a melodic framework or a ‘mode’ in Indian classical music, a combination of notes (called ‘swaras’) along with phrases and nuances (called ‘gamakas’) that define its unique character. Mudras is a symbolic ritual gesture, primarily performed with the hands, fingers, the entire body or even eye movements and breathing techniques. The word ‘mudra’ is a Sanskrit word which means ‘mark’ or ‘gesture’.
Founded in 1981, TFA is an organisation dedicated to the development and inculcating Indian arts and culture among the youth. It was set out to establish a dance institution and branched out to teach music and vocals in its curriculum. It has presented over 20 major productions and 300 short works including explorations of integrations of different cultural themes. TFA has staged its productions in tours around the world including Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, the UK and USA.
As the foremost cultural institutions of Malaysia, TFA has received recognition and support from the Ministry of Information, Communications And Culture and has performed at many major official events including the APEC Summit and the Commonwealth Cultural Festival, all in 1998. It has also won many accolades at the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards.
Witness the artistry and skills of the TFA artists in this special presentation themed Classical Traditions: Ragas and Mudras as they weave intricate cultural patterns that serves the soul, only at DFP! The TFA’s collaboration with DFP is a testament to both organisations’ enduring commitment towards nurturing the growth and sustainability of arts and culture.
