Sampradya - by Dr. Vyjayantimala Bali.
Dr. Vyjayantimala Bali, the legendary Bharatanatyam exponent regales the viewers with some rare and almost forgotten items once performed in temples and revived by her. Selected from live video recordings of her recitals at different venues and times.
Thirugnana Sambanda Murthy Kauthuvam - Aarabhi - Adi
This is an item performed when the deity is taken out in procession
during festivals. With lyrics interspersed with unique rhythmic phrases, this composition is in praise of Thirugnana Sambandar, the boy-saint and contains some brisk nritta (pure dance).
Chalamu jese( Tana Varnam) Panthuvarali -Khanda Jathi Ata - Thanjavur Quartet
Heard in music concerts and customized for dance, this ‘nritta’ item, describes a lovelorn maiden’s appeal to Lord Brihadeswara of Thanjavur.
Nondi Chindu - Ragamaligai - Talamaligai
A folk melody with simple lyrics, it presents one of those whimsical pranks of Lord Siva as Chokkalingam in Madurai city.
Mangalam - Madhyamavathi - Rupakam -Thanjavur Quartet
The finale that invokes the blessings of Goddess Meenakshi of
Madurai on the performer, audience and the whole world.
