Adishakti defends a holistic view of theatre arts and seeks to recover systems of craft, artisinal activity, architecture and design, indigenous medicine and environmental awareness germane to most traditional performance cultures.

Adishakti also connects traditional arts to contemporary arts practice -  and rural forms to metropolitan expressions.

Adi ishakti's holistic view of theatre finds expression in its campus, which is a cultural hub in the lap of nature.

Three acres of sylvan surroundings house many heritage structures, an outdoor amphitheatre, an indoor theatre space built to the specifications of the Natya Shastra , the ancient treatise on theatre -- with contemporary acoustic paneling.

The landscape is dotted with fruit trees and vegetable plantations – all organically grown.

There are three sacred groves, { sarpa kavu} which have been nurtured in the traditional way and many trees mentioned in ancient texts are flourishing at Adishakti.
