BHARATANATYAM SONG SWAGATHAM KRISHNA FULL

She, together with Sampada, showed the 10 incarnations of Krishna beautifully.

She had mischievous eyes and smile that made me want to be a Gopi there instead of Leela who played the role of a graceful Gopi. Sampada transformed into real Krishna as she came from the audience area to the stage by playing real flute. Sampada and Leela concluded their Rangapravesam with the item вЂњSwagatham KrishnaвЂќ. He had also made other great props for the entire recital. Much notable was the prop of a white lotus which was lovingly made by her own father Dr. Leela looked just like Goddess Sarasvati bedecked and dressed in white. Usually the items chosen would be in Telugu, but these two items were in Tamil. LeelaвЂ™s next two items вЂњMayil VahanaвЂќ on Lord Subramanya and вЂњVellai Tamarai Poovil IruppaalвЂќ on Goddess Sarasvati, were welcome changes for a Kuchipudi Rangapravesam. Leela began her solo performance with вЂњJaya Jaya DurgeвЂќ and effectively portrayed Mother Durga, the vanquisher of all enemies. Audience took note of SampadaвЂ™s clear Mudras and crisp Nritta in all her items. Sampada concluded her solo part with Shankara Sirigirinada in praise of Lord Shiva. This item further proved SampadaвЂ™s mastery of Abhinaya which is difficult for even many senior dancers. In the next item вЂњSogasuga Mridanga TalamuвЂќ, Sampada, for her Sanchaari, effectively portrayed the scene where Lord Rama broke the Shiva Dhanus and took the hand of Sita, while all the other kings including Ravana entered the competition with over confidence and pride and then became laughing stocks. From anger, her emotions remarkably changed to love when she was promised that she would get an entire Parijata tree planted in her backyard. I would call this item the вЂclimaxвЂ™ of SampadaвЂ™s recital, for, she captivated the audience who were surprised that the young Sampada could show matured emotions with such ease. This item proved that SampadaвЂ™s skill in portraying emotions is in par with her talented mother and Guru Smt Prafulla Veluri. Her eyes and movements showed very distinctly anger and disappointment that she did not get the rare flower of Parijata while Rukmani got it from Sri Krishna. The next item was a Javali вЂњNee Maatalu EmayanuraвЂќ a solo item by Samprada after a costume change, in which she portrayed young Satyabhama. They continued with the beautifully choreographed piece of вЂњJayamu Jayamu Lalitha KalavanikiвЂќ paying obeisance to Goddess Sarasvati, Guru, poets, composers, musicians and the audience

Sampada and Leela entered the stage with grace to the commanding voice of their Guru, and began with prayers to the blissfully dancing Ganapati, through the dynamic song of вЂњAnanda Nartana GanapathimвЂќ. I was really looking forward to it, because I myself have a daughter who dances Bharatanatyam with me on stages.

Prafulla Velury not only because her two students were going to express their full range of skills in public, but also because one of the students Sampada, was her own daughter.
