Bharatanatyam Varnam Aadum Daivam Arulva

This is the longest piece I performed at my Rangapravesha. It lasted all of 50 minutes and was exhausting. Here you can see two stories being elaborated:

In the first story, a few Sadhus gain a lot of power due and become haughty. They decide to undermine Shivas power and decide to attack him. They attack him with a charging deer, a ball of fire, a snake, a tiger and an elephant. Shiva conquers all of them. Then they send a dwarf demon and Shiva dances on the demon.

In the second story, Shiva is said to be the representative of begining and end of all things. So his head and feet extend to infinity. Vishnu and Brahma take on a challenge to see the top of Shivas head and the bottom of his feet. Vishnu becomes a bird and flies up and Brahma becomes a boar and burries underground. They both fail and acknowledge Shivas greatness.

Bharatanatyam Varnam Aadum Daivam Arulva performed by Sindhoor at her Rangapravesha / Arangetram, in ADA Rangamandira, Bangalore. Raga Kalyani, Tala Adi.

That's a decent performance, room for improvements though. Thats not a small thing to say given the length of the performance. Congratulations from Argentina.
