"Maya: The Illusion of Life" is a captivating dance drama presented by Project Samskriti that delves into the profound concept of life's transient nature. When a disciple, sent to fetch water by his guru, enters a village, he becomes entangled in the superficialities and biases of society. Succumbing to the allure of a young woman, he forgets his initial quest and finds himself enmeshed in the worldly pleasures of family and success. As years pass, a devastating storm washes away all he has built, a stark reminder of life's impermanence. In this moment of despair, his compassionate guru appears, prompting him to reflect on his forgotten promise with a simple question, "Where is my water?" The performance takes the audience through the journey of the disciple and his wayward senses: smell, sight, taste, and sound, ultimately revealing the powerful illusion of Maya, and the quest for truth beyond the physical world.
