Storytelling through hand gestures

We all have stories to tell, but what if we could not express it with words? May it be the language barrier or simply not be able to express it in correct words.

Would those stories go untold?

Did you know your hands can speak too?

Learn language of hand gestures and use it to depict nature & its various creations. These hand gestures have originated from ancient scriptures of Indian classical dance styles.

The hasta-mudras (hand gestures) of Indian classical dance can express countless different meanings & things involving not only the hands and fingers but also the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, all in movement.

These gestures or Mudras when performed in sequence can depict an emotion, showcase a scene or narrate a complete story.
