Prothoma Ppandav Bodhu

Hall: The Stein Auditorium

Prothoma Ppandav Bodhu (Bengali with English subtitles/60 mins) Directed & choreographed by Ambali P. Praharaj. Performed by Diaa Dutta, Soumyajit Adhikary, Rahul Paswan, and Ambali P. Praharaj. The play narrates the untold story of Hidimbi, Bhima’s first wife and the eldest bride of the Pandava clan. A poignant tale of love, motherhood, sacrifice and loneliness, the play explores her struggle against social prejudice and her journey from a forest woman to a warrior mother. Through the birth and sacrifice of Ghatotkacha, Hidimbi’s love and suffering emerge as an unforgettable chapter of the Mahabharata—a story of a woman's history almost forgotten, yet who deserves to be remembered. Tickets at Rs.350, Rs.200 & Rs.100 are available online on bookmyshow.com and at the Habitat Programmes desk.
