NINDA STUTI- Sri Thyagaraja- BHARATANATYAM - Dance

A Bharatanatyam dance choreography of a Ninda Stuti.

Ninda Stuti is a form of poetry that praises through sarcasm in a teasing/mocking way. It is born out of the closeness felt with the divinity and hence, carries a lot of depth and love. Here, Sadguru Thyagaraja Swamy questions and taunts Lord Rama through vyājanindā for the lord's indifference towards the poet. "sAdhincene" is one of the most celebrated Pancharatna Kritis of the saint.

The song is in Ragam Arabhi set to Adi Talam.
