A large group of Chinese dancers staged “Adi Kavya-The First Poem,” a dance drama based on the translation of Ramayana by noted Chinese scholar late Prof Ji Xianlin.

The drama, directed by the Chinese Bharatanatyam exponent Jin Shanshan and featuring a cast of over 50 local performers, was held at the Indian Embassy here on Saturday.

A large audience watched what the Indian mission described as a “stunning cultural confluence” in a post on X.

This is the second time the dance drama was staged in Beijing; the first time being in January this year.

Last month, the Embassy organised a symposium on 'Sangamam-A Confluence of Indian philosophical traditions' in which noted Chinese scholars spoke on Bhagavad Gita and Indian civilisational values.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
