Dance performances by Saraswathi and Vidya regaled the audience at Mylapore.

Saraswathi Krishnakumar, senior disciple and niece of Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam, recently performed a solo ‘Bharata Nrithyam’ recital at the YGP Auditorium for Bharat Kalachar.

She commenced the programme with a Pushpanjali composed by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna which was followed by ‘Sabapathiku’ – a song in praise of Lord Shiva. The varnam that followed was in ragam Kapi which depicted the Nayika yearning for the union with Lord Muruga.
