Devi — The Mother And Liberator

The 23rd annual Bharatanatyam Festival of Natyarangam, the dance wing of Narada Gana Sabha, featured Devi as the theme. The evening began with an innovative ‘Vande Mataram,’ a song penned by Sujatha Vijayaraghavan. Aadi being the month dedicated to the Goddess, Devi Bharatam was highly apt.

Renowned writer Sivasankari, guest of honour, felicitated those chosen for special awards — Saroja Kameswaran, (Bharatanatyam guru for representing core values of heritage), Tamil scholar, researcher and resource person Dr. S Raghuraman, (outstanding Contribution to Bharatanatyam), vocalist and nattuvanar K. S. Balakrishnan, (Bhagavatalu Sri Seetharama Sarma Endowment Award), senior dancer Lakshmi Ramaswamy (Obul Reddy Endowment Award) , dancer Pavitra Bhatt (Vasantha Lakshmi Narasimhachari Endowment Award) and mridangam artiste M. Dhananjayan (Sudharani Raghupathy Endowment Award). Hari Shankar, secretary, Narada Gana Sabha, gave away the awards.

Aruna Sairam, who was the chief guest, said that it was her good fortune to be a part of such a felicitation of confidence and pride in profession.

Dr. Sudha Seshaiyan and R. K. Sreeramkumar were the designated resource persons for ‘Devi Bharatam.’
