This DVD unfolds the aesthetics and applications of invocatory items in Bharatanatyam, an ageless dance form of India known for its beauty and variegated splendour; it treats the viewer to some fresh and fascinating aspects of Thodayamangalam, Mallari & Kavuthuvam, backed by a neat, learner-friendly format.
Presented by ‘Nrithya Choodamani’ Priyadarsini Govind, the distinguished danseuse, it carries demonstrations by young Bharatanatyam students. While describing the significance and subtleties of these items, it attempts to provide a comprehensive view of each component.
Further value additions come in the form of a pulsating presentation by the danseuse herself, punctuated by the lectures of a glittering array of Bharatanatyam dancers, scholars and musicologists like Prof. C.V.Chandrasekhar, Prof. Sudharani Raghupathy, Shri. B.M. Sundaram and Smt. Sujatha Vijayaraghavan.
