The evening will begin with a Wine Tasting with Sommelier Sunaina Sinah and will continue with a story telling by Seema Anand, in the beautiful courtyard at Taj Buckingham Gate.
Seema Anand is a visiting lecturer and storyteller at Universities, the British Museum and the British Library. Seema was recently invited to speak on TED talks on the philosophy of ' The Art of Seduction' of which, she will share some of the secrets with those attending.
As darkness falls, the sorceress begins to weave her magic...
Seema will be telling stories from the Tilism-e-Hoshruba (Land of the Enchanted Senses), part of the larger 17th century epic The Hamza Nama, written and illustrated for Emperor Akbar.
The Tilism is an enchanted land created by magic and ruled by magicians, where sorcerer vie for power and wizardry, sorcery, seduction and deceit are all in a day's work.
Beautifully descriptive, hilariously funny and unashamedly seductive - it is a unique masterpiece of narrative traditions.
Presented by the Third Eye UK, created by Seema Anand and Sangeeta Talukdar as a platform for explore the philosophies and mythologies of the Indic regions.
The magic will also be conducted by our one and only Suhel Seth, who will play the role of master sorcerer for the evening.
