This February 18 students from Narthana Kalalayam travelled to India to perform the dance drama Sivagangai Chenthee , a dance drama about Queen Velunatchiyar and her army commader Kuyuli. The first stop of the tour was Chennai - a beautiful performance at Mylapore Fine Arts for Vazhuvoor Dance & Music School 10th celebration. Here our Guru Smt Pathmini Gunaseelan was granted the Vazhuvoorar title "Nritya Choodamani".
The next stop was Thanjavaur where our girls wowed the Thanjavur University Students and the Vice Chancellor & the Head of Performance Arts for the university.
The final part of our Bharathanatyam dance drama tour 2024 of “Sivagangai Chenthi” was completed with Madurai Meenakshi Amman’s blessings. The team was fortunate to have been given this opportunity with special permission from the Tamil Nadu authority to perform at Meenakshi Amman’s temple. A once in a lifetime opportunity and blessing.
