This dance drama is an adaptation of the poetic composition ‘AmuktaMalyada’, one of the Telugu Pancha-Maha-Kavyas authored 500 years ago, by the great poet-king Sri Krishnadevaraya. Choreographed by Guru Chavali Bala Tripura Sundari, in association with Dr Yashoda Thakore, the performance is sure to win many hearts.

Ganga

Parampara Foundation is bringing Rajeshwari Sainath’s popular dance item ‘Ganga’ on the auspicious occasion of Maha Sivaratri. ‘Ganga’ is an ode to the pristine river as it carries the water – a symbol of divinity, bearing the sins of all who seek and surrender to her. The presentation by Dr. Rajeshwari Sainath and her disciples is a masterpiece, dedicated to this mighty Ganga mata.
