Kumara Swamy, the play adapted from the book Telangana lo Buddhism focused on the enlightenment of a cursed BrahminBawari and his 16 curious disciples willing to understand the deeper truths of birth, death, rebirth and brotherhood. From the impressive use of projector visuals, music and shadow-play, there was every effort to lend authenticity to the theme.
