Dharu Varnam - Mathe Malayadhwaja Pandya Sanjathe... - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Описание: A famous Dharu Varnam composed by Harikesanallur Sri Mutthiah Bhagavathar, surrendering to the Universal Mother, the presiding deity of the city of Madurai, the adorable daughter of the Pandya King Malayadwaja, Goddess Meenakshi.

Oh Devi, who is the mother of Ganesha and Guha! Oh Shankari, the slender- waisted one, who destroyed Chamunda! Oh Gowri, who adorns the lustrous crescent moon on her head!

Mutthiah Bhagavathar addresses the Goddess thus and asks her to protect the magnanimous Maharaja of Mysore, Sri Krishna Rajendra who is an expert in the 64 arts and a great patroniser of poets. The composer prays to Goddess Shyamamba who shines like emerald and prostrates to her to protect his benefactor.
