Immersed in rasas
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|February 27, 2025
T isn't just the Golconda Fort, one of Hyderabad's most visited historical sites, that is going to be adored this Saturday.
Everyone is also looking forward to a beautiful Bharatanatyam performance by danseuse Rama Vaidyanathan and a troupe of 20 dancers.
Organised by Paramparaa Foundation, this performance is part of its annual cultural festival celebrating Indian dance, music, and art, set against the backdrop of temples and historical sites across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The performance, titled Nimagana, will weave dance, movement, and storytelling, exploring the myriad ways of experiencing Rasa, or emotion.
The 90-minute performance is divided into five sections - Guru Stotram, Kamakshi, Kashi, Raghu veera, and Rasaleela. Speaking about the inspiration behind the production, Rama shared, "Nima gana is undoubtedly a result of my years of dialogue with Bharatanatyam. The word 'nimagana' means immersion, and unless one is completely immersed in an activity, excellence in that field will not emerge. I have strived to be immersed in dance, and that essence is exactly what Nimagana, the dance production, reflects. It was premiered at the Neeta Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai because it was a grand stage."
