A glimpse into an abhinaya class with Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan
Only a fellow sufferer, only someone who knows what it is like to burn in your own fire, to be consumed by your own passion will understand how I feel. And so I address myself to the flame – not the moth.
What does the moth know of passion?
Requested by @reallythoughtfulwizard
This was inspired from Nandini’s story by Seema Anand, an ancient tale of love and passion.

Rajasthan Utsav, Jaipur Kathak Kendra for Kathak Samaroh 2018. A truly ecstatic experience watching Pandit Birju Maharaj and his trope perform. I was introduced to Pandit Birju Maharaj by the iconic “Mohe Panghat pe” in Mughal-e-Azam, and I was unrequitedly in love. He’s one of the most enigmatic and beautiful choreographer of the industry.

Theankle bells worn by Indian classical dancers are an essential element of the dance. The sound of the bells highlights the musical accompaniment to the dance, and make very obvious the dancer’s skill and precision. In many classical Indian dance forms, the number of rows increases as the dancer becomes more accomplished (for example, a student may begin with Ghungroo featuring two rows, and a masterful dancer might have four rows, or more). The name for the bells is Ghungroo (Hindi: घुँघरू ), and salangai in Tamil.
