Naatakurinji Varnam - Konark Festival 2020 - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Описание: SIVĀYA NAMAH, a thematic dance presentation by SDN @ Konark Festival 2020

Varnam - "Swami Nān Undan Adimai"
Rāgam - Nāttakurinji
Tālam - Ādi
Composer - Sri Pāpanāsa Sivan

Varnam is the masterpiece in a Bharathanatyam repertoire that is an artistic combination of Bhavam - raagam - thaalam and Nritham - Nrithyam - Naatyam.

The naayikaa says, "My Lord, I have surrendered myself to you and spend my living chanting your names. Completely charmed by your majestic dance, I yearn for unison with you. O Nataraja, please come and bestow me with your abundant compassion.
Worshipped by Nandi, Bhringi, the Ganas, sages and all the gods headed by Indra, you dance in Sath-Chith-Aananda with a winning smile and side-long glance, ensuring salvation to all the devotees. The tiger skin worn around your waist and the powerful axe held in your hand captivate me. Your matted hair locks and the elephant gait make me lose myself and I am completely mesmerised in love for you, O my lord. O Nataraja, please come, bestow your abundant compassion and bless me to be one with you.

In the Varnan, as the devotees plead the Lord to arrive at once, the story of Lord Siva's timely manifestation to save Markandeya is enacted as a sanchari.
