Mysore V Subramanya
Popular appeal
A 12-day cultural festival was held in a serene atmosphere at the ISKCON Temple in connection with the Brahmotsava. Staff and students of the Dahar Institute of Fine Arts gave a dance recital here, last week, under the direction of Usha Dathar, senior dancer of the state.
The Gajavadana gave them a good start. But the piece-de-resistance was Neene Anathabandhu the well- known devaranama. Changing the roles in quick succession they performed the Krishan Sudhama, Dyutha, Vastrapaharana, Gajendra Moksha— episodes with more mime and drama.
It was pleasing with its popular appeal. The Jagadoddarana was also captivating. Kerala's Kummi was a different experience. Rajudathar (vocal), Janardhana (mridangam) and Narasimha Murthy (flute) supported from the wings.
