I am a student of Bharathanatyam (Indian classical dance form) under the guidance of Guru P. Praveen Kumar . Here are small excerpts from a Varna in raga Todi, set to Adi tala. In this peice, the nayika (heroine) is expressing her love for her nayaka (hero), lord Shiva. This item was choreographed by my Guru.

This is from a performance conducted as a part of the Every Friday Cultural Evening Program (EFCEP) by Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) in collaboration with the Department of Kannada and Culture, Karnataka on 21 July, 2017.
