About the Event
Discover the Power and Grace of Bhadrakali
Immerse yourself in the Bhadrakali Stuti, a powerful hymn in Malayalam that reveres the goddess from her crown to her sacred feet. Written by Babu Narayanan and set to tune by Bijeesh Krishna in Raga Salakam and Tala Misra Chapu, this composition is more than a prayer—it is an invocation that resonates through every beat and word. The workshop will guide you through choreography tailored to match your experience, drawing from the rhythmic jatis and intricate movements.
Who Should Attend?This workshop is ideal for those who have learned Thillanas and are eager to delve deeper into Bharatanatyam. Open to intermediate dancers.
