Sarvani presents Naatya Manoharam- Beauty of Dance at Nehru Center,8, South Audley Street, London, W1K 1HF on 19th March 2014 @ 6:30. All are welcome.

Dance is a form of divinity. It is yet another way to reach the almighty’s feet. All Indian dances and performing arts of India are believed to have branched out from ‘NatyaSasthra – (Treatise on Dance)’ an ancient text written by Bharata Muni. Kuchipudi, as one of the eight main classical dance forms that closely follows the principles of NatyaSasthra - combines fast rhythms and sculpturesque body movements. Having come across ages, this divine dance form still stands unique with many of its distinctive features traced to the innovations introduced by the brilliant scholar Siddhendra Yogi of the 14th century. He built up the repertoire and refined the dance technique. “NaatyaManoharam- beauty of dance” showcases the repertoire of kuchipudi and brings out the unique aspects of the dance form.
