Silambam | Virtual Bharat [HD] (Video)

This is the story of a weapon. One that has made its way from the hands of a defender to those of a dancer. An age-old tradition that has changed with time to become what it is today. A martial art that has traveled across Asia. Aishwarya Manivannan walks us through her journey with what is considered to be a masculine sport, Silambam. She speaks of a journey of strength. Of discovery. Of spirit. The journey of a 3000-year-old martial art. The pride of Tamil Nadu. The music is inspired by lines from the Thirukkural that speak for the power in a woman’s glance கூற்றமோ! கண்ணோ! பிணையோ! மடவரல் நோக்கம் இம் மூன்றும் உடைத்து. (Death? Eyes? Or a doe? Her simple sight has the spirit of all three.) ~ Kural 1085 Virtual Bharat. A 1000 film journey, one story at a time.
