That which is night to all beings, in that state, the wise one is awake

IIM B takes immense pleasure in inviting you once again to our annual tribute to Indian Classical Arts – Yamini ’08.

To the uninitiated, have you wondered what Yamini means?

Yamini means ‘Night’, but it is not a night as we simply know it. It is The Night that sets in every year on the evening of 25^th of January. It is the night that descends on Bangalore, gently, slowly, to the mellifluous notes of music and the gentle rhythm of the artist’s feet. It is the night when the clouds above, part to reveal the star spangled banner of the dark skies. It is the night when the lush green lawns of IIM Bangalore sport their best cushions for the patrons of art. When Yamini is on, you wake up to your inner self, and dissolve in the shower of music and dance. From Malkauns to Bhairavi, from dusk to dawn, the night of revelation prevails. 

Yamini is an ecletic mix of Indian Classical Music and Dance performances on a single dias. Organized by IIM Bangalore since 2004, it is open to all of Bangalore and has attracted a faithful audience across ages, over the years. Yamini last year attracted over 4000 footfalls and was a success beyond words. This year, Yamini ’08 is IIM B’s biggest ever offering to Bangalore’s art lovers. When the people elsewhere count the stars in the night sky of 25^th January 2008, you will additionally count five special ones in IIM B. The five artists performing for Yamini ’08 are the very best in their fields and will enthrall your senses. IIMB invites you to an evening of ecstasy. Come and watch the stars with us.
