Mokshada is a contemporary dance-drama inspired by the mythical narratives of the Panchakanya — Ahalya, Kunti, Draupadi, Tara, and Mandodari — revered heroines from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. These five women, celebrated in Hindu mythology as embodiments of purity and devotion, also endure profound trials of injustice, exile, and humiliation. The performance reimagines their stories from a feminist perspective, giving voice to their silent suffering and inner strength. Through a fusion of global dance forms and Nepali ethnic rituals as aesthetics, Mokshada explores themes of chastity, resilience, and liberation, reflecting on how patriarchal systems continue to define and confine women. The play journeys through their pain and defiance, ultimately portraying moksha — spiritual freedom — as an act of self-realization and courage. It is both a tribute to mythic womanhood and a call for gender awakening in contemporary society.
