Sri Krishna Parijatam

The theme of this ballet is taken from the tenth canto of Bhagavatha. Satyabhama, the most possessive among Krishna's eight queens, is envious of Rukmini, his most devoted Consort. The celestial sage Narada creates a delicate situation for Krishna.

He brings from the Heaven a single Parijatham flower and presents it to Krishna when he is with Rukmini. Krishna presents it to Rukmini, only to enrage Satyabhama. When she comes to know of it, Sage Narada's mischief works. Satyabhama has a tiff about the flower with Krishna. Krishna pacifies her, promising her the Parijatham tree itself. Krishna does bring the tree, it is also planted in Satyabhama's back yard, but did she actually get its flowers? Was it a conspiracy? Was Krishna a party to it? The ballet reveals all this in a delightful way, with lovely songs and dances. Vivacious Sobha plays her most favorite role, Satyabhama in this fascinating play.
