نونونونونونو مهراجا خالصة...حبيت الهنود.
I did some digging, and I've been doing this all along with only certain people. It all made sense.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I came to London from Bavaria especially for this exhibition and I loved it
Damn… I think Indian culture is the most rich and beautiful one in the whole world !! I’m really enjoying each video I watch about them sooo beautiful !
All indian artifacts should be returned to India. We have sufficient resources to keep them in our museums.
A VERY BEAUTIFUL DANCE, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND VERY ENTERTAINING.
Extraordinary conversation
Love Dr Finkel’s charisma. A national treasure himself.
Irving finkel for president....or prime minister....of Dali Lama.
It’s only in the Indian culture where women got so much respect and freedom, whereas in other cultures they were enslaved and deprived of all kinds of rights. Only in Hinduism there is equality between male and female gods, example Ardhanareshwari where Shiva is depicted as half man and half woman, symbolising two opposite spins of electrons within orbitals of an atom, which is the basis of physical realm. I’m proud of my culture, tradition and homeland. Proud to be an Indian 🇮🇳.
Still not safe
And Britishers destroyed all beautiful temples most precious artifacts and stone carvings! Shame on humanity for not knowing real worth of art
Shame on these sanatani women for dancing there
liked the dance. hated the wandering camera. THought that was immensely annoying.
Beautiful... thank you!❤
Очень красиво
Это прекрасно
Мать богиня !!!
Культура

Where is odissi???
I'm so proud to be an indian love the performance it's like apsara is dancing pride confidence grace every step is mind-blowing ❤
but do they understand meaning behind those steps
I was lucky to watch this live over zoom and liked it so much I'm watching again. Even went and bought Goldsworthy's novel 'Vindolanda'! BM has wonderful lectures to go with the exhibitions.
Is there any publications on the incantations that could be purchased ?. Every time I watch a lecture from Dr Finkel I get a deeper insight into Mesopotamia, He makes perfect sense in a precise way that I am still fascinated and see a bigger picture. thank you
They broke our temples,stole our idols and looted us.Banned Hindu women from dancing in Hindu temple.These artifacts belongs to Hindu temples and not in museum.You broke our temples we made Shiv-Shakti Point in moon.
I loved listening to this intriguing and very funny tale. You read so wonderfully and have a captivating voice . Chaucer was an extremely clever man - getting his innermost thoughts revealed in his Canterbury tales. Thank you ❤️
Nav Budhhest will come and claim it's Budhha culture.
😍😍😍
9:39 remembered tarana by Ravishankar from inside the kremlin
why was the odissi music contemporarized when other classical dances had authentic music?
Assyrian here. Thank you for the lecture 🙏
ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ
Britain is home to many Indian people. These artifacts are in good hands. Just look at the audience.
Great findings thankyou for sharing
looter museum
This manifestation of traditional Indian culture in the British Museum is ironic when the English colonization did everything to destroy the culture of India.
Amazing performance & music
Le Kathak c'est tellement tellement beau.
It is as if they're seeing a object not a living breathing human's performance that trying to reach divine
Whether “real” or “belief” is probably personal. Or that is my theory anyway. My experiences.. yes plural..have seemed very real. Were they? That is anyones guess. I would say i don’t believe. But, when my Mother, after she died, asked me why that young man in her kitchen would not answer her when she spoke to him, i told her it was “because he knew she was not there”. No words were exchanged. Only thoughts. I puzzled it over and “decided” to accept it as real. She came again, years later, standing in front of an opening, where behind her my father, who had recently died, was sitting as he did when we celebrated their anniversaries and all the old cousins would sit on the long back porch talking about the old days of growing up. In the opening in the wall in front of the cousins, my mother smiled. Then it all was gone. She wasn’t been back. Not like that. Though i dream about those who have gone, and they seem only normal as they did when alive. I’ve never had that experience since. I have wondered about it. I chose to accept it, and it gave me some comfort about whether i did an acceptable job of caring for my father’s needs, as i had promised Mother we would. She worried, because he was a difficult person who was not kind, nor did he care much, for his family. So i accept those events, what ever they were, real or belief, as a reassurance that all was well for them, and Mother wanted me to know i did ok. Sounds needy, doesn’t it. I don’t believe in ghosts, but on the other hand… And then of course there was that creepy old man that visited our three year old when we lived in that 100 year old house out in New Hampshire, and told him we should not be there, and wrote things on the wall of his bedroom that he could not read since he was only three…. And that menacing heap of rags i saw standing over us the first night we stayed in that house. Scared the hair off me. I chalked it up to a bad dream. But then there were those visits to our son….and our Lab who would not go upstairs, and the cat who would….and then the dog disappeared. Needless to say, we did not stay there any longer than it took to find another place to live. Real or belief? Darned if i know.
Such a graceful dance by all of them
Thank yuo very much !
Issue with Aberdeenshire/ NE Scotland (Likely spot of Mons Grapius) is metal doesn't survive well. So maybe could find the site, but highly unlikely. East of Bennachie has a decent case though
Beautiful Dance, I love this! JAI SHREE RAM
