Organized by the Triveni School of Dance, Yatra offers an immersive exploration of India's rich cultural heritage through classical dance and music. The production integrates Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi dance forms with compositions from classical-era Indian composers, spanning multiple languages including Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi-Urdu, Marathi, Telugu, and Manipravalam.​

Neena Gulati, the founder of the Triveni School of Dance, described Yatra as "a journey through India's artistic depth." She elaborated, "With the ancient reverence of Sanskrit and Tamil, the poetic expression of Hindi-Urdu and Marathi, and the lyrical cadence of Telugu and Manipravalam, Yatra paints a vivid picture of India's artistic richness. Each composition reflects the unique spirit of its region, woven together in a tribute to the shared spiritual and cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent." ​

The American India Foundation's New England chapter expressed its gratitude for the collaboration, stating, "We sincerely thank Triveni School of Dance for choosing us as the partner of choice for this powerful cultural initiative."​
