Nritya Natya Academy

Born into the marginalized Bedia community, Gulab battled deep-rooted social stigma, patriarchy, and personal heartbreak to become a national icon, honored with the Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi awards. Her passion for performance and fight for dignity broke barriers for generations of women in the arts.

Song of the Lost River is more than a biographical tale—it’s a soul-stirring reflection on identity, gender, and justice. It critiques the blind march of technology that pushed traditional artists to the margins and urges us to value our cultural roots.

Crafted by acclaimed playwright Atamjit (Sahitya & Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee), this spellbinding production blends live singing, dynamic dance, and powerful performances to tell a story of resilience and beauty.
Don’t miss this rare theatrical gem that brings the legacy of Gulab Bai to the stage.

Celebrate courage. Witness history. Feel the music.
