"Pralayapayodi Jale" Ashtapadi - Meghna Unnikrishnan - SDN - Bharathanatyam & Painting

Sridevi Nrithyalaya presents CITRA NĀTYAM.

An amalgamation of two visual fine arts set on the foundation of 'Bhakti'. This choreography for Jayadeva's Dasavatara Ashtapadi includes painting, dancing and story telling, all in one song.

This dance piece, set as the grand finale in the Arangetram of Kum. Meghna Unnikrishnan, is a unique experimentation to display Meghna's painting skills along with her dance.
