Shakti is the name of the Indian dance and cultural association founded by Loredana Ungureanu in June 2016 at Nantes, in France.
Shakti is a Sanskrit word that means power, strength, energy. It represents the feminine creative power, the Great Divine Mother, the primordial cosmic energy and the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism. She is often associated with Shiva, the masculine energy. On Earth, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity or fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form. She also represents the feminine aspect of a male divinity, which became a divinity itself (Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati, Durga). Shakti is also the goddess known to be the wife of Indra, leader of the devas and lord of heaven.
