While the Krishna chapter is weaved with a variety of tales, myths, and magic, just like other chapters in Indian mythology, it has always been regarded as being primarily practical and giving wisdom in many aspects of daily life. Using traditional Indian dance styles like Mayurbhanj Chhau and Kalaripayattu, the Kendra will depict this element of Lord Krishna's colorful life, from his birth through his participation in the epic Mahabharata.

Shobha Deepak Singh, Director & Vice Chairperson, Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra said, “Krishna’ emotes the intrinsic truths of life,
appealing in their fundamental simplicity, as enumerated by Lord Krishna. These lie within the folds of innumerable anecdotes, embedded in His life’s tales, perpetually inspiring in their traditional as well as today, in a modern context.”
