Nrityagram Dance Ensemble will present "Pratima: Reflection" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 8, at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center's Ferguson Hall.
"Pratima: Reflection" is an evening-length work that explores the relationship between the dancer and her dance as she seeks to find an image of herself through the essential truths - creation, contemplation, separation and the duality of the human spirit. Choreographed by Surupa Sen, the piece is performed by an ensemble of female dancers to an original score. The language of the show is Odissi, the oldest of India's classical dance forms. Odissi is a distinct blend of rigorous technique with attitudes of love and passion to emphasize divinity in the ancient temples of East India.
If you are in the vicinity of Orlando City Hall through April 23, you must check out "Gateway to the World: India Series" Art Exhibit by Rave Mehta. It can be viewed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the second and third floors in the mayor's rotunda (at Orange Avenue and South Street).
The "Gateway to the World: India Series" showcase by Rave Mehta blends the real with the surreal in an original photography exhibit of a 5,000-person, nine-day Indian wedding in Mumbai for which he served as the creative director. The exhibit is comprised of 15 pieces inked onto 30-by-40-feet canvas sheets.

Charity is a fundamental tenet of all religions. In Islam, it has been made a compulsory part of the religion. In other words, those Muslims that earn enough to set aside savings must give 2� percent of their savings in charity every year, or else they are not practicing their faith. This compulsory charity is called "Zakat" and Zakat is considered one of the five pillars of Islam. Islam also encourages its adherents to give generously to the poor and indigent in the community. This form of giving is called "Sadaqah." It is purely voluntary but considered the hallmark of a good and pious Muslim or Muslimah.

Introduced originally as RX300 in 1998, this four-door, five-passenger luxury SUV has been completely redesigned - for the better, of course.
Lexus' biggest seller in the United States is once again available as a front-wheel or all-wheel drive, whether you choose the RX350 or RX450h. Though the RX350 already has hit the road, the hybrid version will be on sale in mid-summer.
Here's how the two power trains vary.
RX350: The 3.5-liter V-6 engine has been revised with a 6-speed multi-mode automatic transmission (previous version had a 5 speed), which enables the driver to manually shift gears. Also, the SUV is now equipped with fresh intake and exhaust manifolds. Horsepower is up by 5 to 275 hp @ 6200 rpm and 257 pounds-feet of torque at 4700 rpm.
