Anita Guha’s crisp and impressive choreography made ‘Parishvanga Pattabhishekam’ a delight to watch.
Kishkinda Kandam and Sundara Kandam were jointly presented as ‘Parishvanga Pattabhishekam’ at this sabha on December 11. The two-hour dance recital was an exceedingly structured combination of dramatics and Margam (narratives). All the dancers (32) exhibiting all aspects of abhinaya — aangikam vaachikam, saaththvikam and aahaaryam — turned each scene vibrant.
The opening showed both Rama and Sugreeva in the same mood — grieving the separation of their wives. Rama sees his consort in everything around him – animals, insects, plants and even the river.
