On the grand canvas of life, individuals embody contrasting characters—Yasoda, Radha, Hidimba and Draupadi—each distinguished by unique colours, emotions and actions. Like moving question marks traversing the universe, they, like everyone else, are in constant pursuit of answers, seeking clarity from within and from the divinity that resides within them. Through Eka Prashna, Mohanty and her troupe brings these existential inquiries to the stage, seeking answers from Krishna through the language of dance.
