Incredible India-Classical Dance Kuchipudi -Solo recital

Kuchipudi (తెలుగు : కూచిపూడి) (pronounced as 'Koochipoodi') is a Classical Indian dance form from Andhra Pradesh, India. It is also popular all over South India. Kuchipudi is the name of a village in the Divi Taluka of Krishna district that borders the Bay of Bengal and with resident Brahmins practicing this traditional dance form, it acquired the present name.


The performance usually begins with some stage rites, after which each of the character comes on to the stage and introduces him/herself with a daru (a small composition of both song and dance) to introduce the identity, set the mood, of the character in the drama. The drama then begins. The dance is accompanied by song which is typically Carnatic music. The singer is accompanied by mridangam (a classical South Indian percussion instrument), violin, flute and the tambura (a drone instrument with strings which are plucked). Ornaments worn by the artists are generally made of a light weight wood called Boorugu.

Greece,Egypt, Rome have arisen and fallen,

But there is something,even wisest know not,

Which make India immortal and timeless,

Even though it bears the assaults from all corners of the world.

You may find natural beauty elsewhere..... You may find traditions elsewhere.... You may find architecture elsewhere...... You may find martial arts elasewhere... You may find arts elsewhere ..... You may find music elsewhere... You may find ancient civilizations elsewhere.... You may find religions elsewhere... But its only India where you find all together in rhythm and at its best which makes it unique ...
