Harinie Jeevitha Solo - Pallava Festival 2021 - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Excerpts from Pallava Festival -

The invocatory piece is a Kauthvam choreographed by Harinie, with verses taken from the first chapter of Natya Sastra, which speaks of the origin and purpose of Natya.

The evergreen Charukeshi Varnam of Lalgudi Sri G. Jayaraman is the next piece, wherein the heroine questions Krishna if it is fair on His part to be indifferent to her. She recalls an incident from her childhood days when she was playing along with Krishna and He garlanded her and claimed her to be His wife.
The verse preceding the Varnam has been penned by the vocalist, Sri Abishek Chandrasekhar.

The following song is a Javali which features a Nayika who is angry and sarcastic with her Lord for not keeping his promises. This Javali is set in Poorvikalyani Ragam and Adi Talam.

The concluding item is Shudda Nrittam which is a dialogue between the Mridangam and the dancer's anklets. This is an innovation of Mahaguru Mangudi Dorairaja Iyer. This particular Shudda Nrittam has been composed by Dr. Guru Bharadwaaj.

Nattuvangam - Dr. Sheela Unnikrishnan
Vocal - Sri Abishek Chandrasekhar
Flute - Sri Maheshswamy
Violin - Smt. Nandini Saigiridhar
