Throughout history, it has been featured in poetry, literature, sculpture, painting, music, dance, mythology, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Choreographer Sonali Skandan uses classical poetry and literature to weave vivid images of the peacock from Indian myths and legends \u2013 from the powerful ancient Mayil Virutham which praises the peacock as Lord Muruga\u2019s vehicle, to the lilting epics of Kalidasa describing the peacock in the rains, as a reminder of Ram\u2019s longing for Sita, to the love songs of Andal and Mirabhai.  The original music score has been composed by the renowned composer from India, Rajkumar Bharathi.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the event, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/mayura-blue-peacock-tickets-12322184987\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, September 18, 2014, 7:00 PM &#8211; Saturday, September 20, 2014, 7:00 PM Chen Dance Center 70 Mulbery Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46975"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46977,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46975\/revisions\/46977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
