Tilism-e-Hoshruba (Land of Enchantment of the Senses) is part of the larger 17th century text Hamzanama, written and illustrated for Emperor Akbar. The Tilism is an enchanted land created by magic and inhabited by sorcerers who are in constant competition for the throne and in this past time there are no rules and no boundaries. Wizardry, sorcery, seduction, deceit, avarice… it’s all in a day’s work. Beautifully descriptive, hilariously funny and unashamedly seductive, this is a unique masterpiece of narrative traditions.
In her unique style, storyteller Seema Anand brings to life these enchanting tales.
This event is not suitable for people under 15 years old.
