On Shivaratri, Sree Dharmapuri Kshetram was in a state of ecstasy filling the environment with spirituality with devotees worshipping Lord Shiva. Bringing the devotees still closer to spiritual happiness was the magnificent blend of dance performances by the popular dance gurus with their shishyas.
Kuchipudi dancer, Vinjamuri Sujatha commenced the event performing “Krishnaveni” – the greatness of the river Krishna with her group in the dance depicting the River Krishna’s birth, travel and key moments with a great composition. The dance recital informs about the various kingdoms established along the banks of the river Krishna like Vijayanagara, Pallava, Chola and many others. It also showcased the achievements of great kings, artists and poets who lived on the coast of the river.
Taking the evening to another level was the recital by Smt. Anita Peter, a reputed Mohiniyattam dancer. Sneha Ramachandran danced to the tunes of Siva Stuthi and Ananda Tandava while Ms. Lohitha with her impressive, quick footwork, dramatic characterization, expressive eye movements and a blend of Tandava and Lasya made an elegant stage presence.
