Glimpses of Nauraspur is an attempt to recreate and understand the 16th-17th century Adil Shahi court culture that eventually manifested itself in the idea of ‘Nauras’. The program consists of segments in which filmmaker Elroy Pinto will articulately lead us into the aesthetics of the Deccan and Ibrahim Adil Shah II’s innovative realization of ‘Nauras’. His commentary will be interspersed with Ibrahim’s poetry from the Kitab-i-Nauras set to classical music by Neela Bhagwat, a renowned senior musician of the Gwalior Gharana.
