Asthapadi
An asthapadi is one form of singing the praise and glory of God, describing his attributes; with devotion, humility, and pure love. This is similar to the Kirtan. The dancers sing and interpret the meaning of the words of the poem, painting visual symbolism with the use of images, sounds (swara), rhythm (taal) and tempo (laya) within the emotion or flavour of devotion (bhakti). In so doing they transport themselves and the audience on an ecstatic journey to the fountain head of love, purity and eternal truth. The Asthapadi is sung in praise of the supreme Godhead, Krsna.
