Описание: Innam En Manam (Varnam) – Raga Charukeshi | Classical Dance | Shivaratri Mahotsavam 2026

Presenting a beautiful classical dance performance on the varnam “Innam En Manam” in Raga Charukeshi, set to Adi Talam, composed by the legendary violin maestro Lalgudi Jayaraman.

This performance was presented during the 5th Shivaratri Mahotsavam on 11th February 2026 at Mangalam Shiva Mangalam Jnaneshwarar Temple, Mangalam.

🌸 About the Song

“Innam En Manam” is a deeply expressive Tamil varnam that portrays the longing of a devotee for Lord Krishna (Yadava Madhava, Kamalakanna, Manivanna). The heroine questions:

“Is it fair that You still do not understand my heart?”

The composition beautifully expresses:

Intense devotion and emotional yearning
Sleepless days and nights spent thinking of the Lord
Calling out to Him in many ways
Feeling helpless without His presence
In the charanams, Krishna is lovingly described as:
The enchanting flute player
The butter thief
The radiant, playful divine lover
The one whose beauty fills everything seen and felt

The devotee pleads for His grace, compassion, and divine presence, expressing complete surrender.

💃 The Performance

This classical presentation brought out the depth of bhava (expression), raga bhavam of Charukeshi, rhythmic precision, and emotional intensity of the varnam format.

The talented young students were trained by Sarayu School of Dance, under the dedicated guidance of Sajith Kesav. Their disciplined training and expressive abhinaya transformed this profound Carnatic composition into a heartfelt devotional offering.

The sacred atmosphere of Shivaratri added even more spiritual beauty to this classical masterpiece.

May divine grace fill every heart with devotion, music, and inner peace.
