More informationThe Sanjhi Indian Association has organised a unique event at the King’s School in Chester to launch a season of art and films.The event will be held in the School’s Vanbrugh Theatre on Thursday, 12 April and includes a performance from one of India’s best known dance troupes. They will perform the story of Chitrangada. Princess Chitrangada was brought up as a man to inherit the throne of Manipur and falls in love with a warrior prince. Believing that he would not fall in love with her unless she were more beautiful, Chitrangada asks the God of Love, to transform her into an attractive woman for a year to woo him.
