When dance and music are seamlessly integrated, the performance becomes a sight to behold. Shirisha Shashank, a disciple of Priyadarsini Govind, presented a solo Bharatanatyam recital at the Music Academy\u2019s mid-year dance festival. <\/p>\n

The evening began with a Pushpanjali in raga Hamsadhwani set to Roopaka tala, followed by the Ganesha stuti \u2018Pahi pahi bala ganapate\u2019 composed by Mazhavai Chidambara Swami. <\/p>\n

The next item was the varnam \u2018Swamiyae vara solladi\u2019 in raga Purvikalyani and tala Adi. This composition by K. N. Dandayuthapani Pillai conveys a profound sense of yearning and devotion. In this piece, the heroine (the nayika) requests her friend (sakhi) to bring none other than Kumaraswamy, the lord himself, to her. Having experienced his grace throughout her life, she now fully understands her love for him and longs to see him. She wonders why it is taking him so long, questioning his intentions and whether he has a heart of stone or truly loves her. She performed the long piece with grace and ease. <\/p>\n

Following the varnam came a padam \u2018Mogadochi\u2019 in raga Sahana and set to Mishra Chapu, a composition in Telugu. In this piece, the nayika is preparing to bid farewell to Krishna. She says, \u2018It is time for me to leave. My husband is at the doorstep to take me away. Please do not forget the feelings I had for you, and please do not forget me\u201d. She continues, \u201cDo not worry about me. Just as the sun and the lotus exist together, you (the sun), whose rays will always fall upon me (the lotus)\u201d. The sentiment of love for god was beautifully expressed through nuanced abhinaya. <\/p>\n

In raga Khamas came a javali \u2018Era Ra Ra\u2019, a composition by Dharmapuri Subbaraya Iyer, set in Adi tala. Here, Radha is longing for the attention of Krishna. The evening concluded with a tillana in raga Brindavani (Adi) and composed by Balamuralikrishna. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
