“Buried Treasures” is an hour-long musical retelling of a few renowned folk fables from India and Europe. The play features four short stories, including “Harisarman” from the Panchatantra; Hans Christian Andersen's “The Little Match Girl”; a confluence of the Indian folk tale 'The Snake and the Golden Coin' and its European counterpart 'The Goose and The Golden Egg'; and Rabindranath Tagore's epic, “Hidden Treasures”.

The show's soundscape includes Hindustani classical music, western classical music, European baroque songs, English, Italian and Spanish melodies, Indian and French folk music, contemporary music, and a few original songs based on poetry by Rabindranath Tagore. The play includes elements of theatre, live music, puppetry, shadow-puppetry, video projection and animation to create an engaging live spectacle.
