Dance
and musical performance play an important role in religious practice and
temple ritual in South Asia. Aside from functioning as a ritual activity,
dance and music are celebrated art forms. Competitions are held on local
and national levels, and training is rigorous and exacting. During her
travels, Mary B. Wheeler was able to capture a wide variety of performances
with her camera. Her lens brings to life the animation and excitement
of the moment, giving the viewer the impression of witnessing these performances
in person.
