With inimitable storyteller Jeeva Raghunath in command, the Ranga Raatinam spun around connecting stories, culture, traditions, and cuisine of different countries in South East Asia. We were amazed at how beautifully Jeeva brought out the connection between the music and art of India with the rest of the world.

It was truly an enjoyable morning as we swayed to the Filipino Pangalay, lost ourselves in the delightful stories from Thailand, New Zealand, and South Korea. The Indonesian trio Ario, Dandi, and Daeng Rate enthralled us with the use of technology in their storytelling. Each storyteller is a guardian of their culture, captivating the youngsters through art and passing on the traditions to the next generation.
