The ayam Institute of Performing Arts celebrated the profound journey of Bharatanatyam, from the early steps of a learner to the pinnacle of mastery, at the second edition of Nrityadhara - Dwitya.

Held at the Little Theatre Group (LTG) Auditorium, the evening was a tribute to the timeless elegance and devotional essence of Bharatanatyam, meticulously curated and choreographed by the visionary Guru Smt. Sindhu Mishra.

Rooted in the traditional bani of the esteemed Guru KN Dandayudhapani Pillai, Nrityadhara brought alive the intricate interplay of nritta (pure dance), bhava (expression), and tala (rhythm). The evening commenced with Pushpanjali, a heartfelt floral offering to the divine, the guru, and the audience, set to the soulful strains of Raagam Bowli and Talam Adi composed and sung by Shri G. Elangovan. This was followed by the Dhyaan Shlokam, a reverential invocation to Lord Shiva, highlighting His omnipresence and cosmic grandeur, composed by Smt. Sudha Raghuraman.
