Bharatanatyam : Vazhuvoor Ramaiah Pillai style
The October concert featured a Bharatanatyam recital by Kumari Sukthi T.R., who initially trained under Vidushi Medha Dixit and is currently pursuing her training under Shruthi N. Murthy of the Natyabhyravi School. Shruthi is a senior disciple of the eminent guru and Karnataka Kalashree awardee Smt.

Reflecting the richness of her training and lineage, Sukthi presented a recital marked by graceful nrittam, pleasing abhinaya and a commendable command over rhythm.
The performance began with a Pushpanjali, in which Sukthi demonstrated excellent control over laya and established a graceful rhythm for the recital. This was followed by the devotional composition Dasana Madiko Enna by Sri Purandara Dasa. Her expressive interpretation brought out the devotional essence of the composition, making it an absorbing presentation.
One of the highlights of the evening was Sringapuradhiswari, a beautiful composition by Sri Padmacharan in Raga Kalyani and Adi Tala, dedicated to Goddess Sharada. Sukthi’s graceful movements and expressive portrayal lent the composition a captivating quality, reflecting both her technical training and artistic sensitivity.
Another memorable presentation was Pillangoviya, the well-known composition of Sri Purandara Dasa, set in Raga Mohana and presented in Trishra Nadai. Depicting the divine leelas of Lord Krishna, Sukthi performed with complete involvement, bringing out the charm and playful spirit of the composition through expressive gestures and graceful movements.
