Siva Keerthanam "Sollale Iyambidal" - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Siva Keerthanam:
This is one of Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan’s early choreographies which her students have been performing in many Bharathanatyam competitions for the last 15 years. And this piece has always fetched the first place, owing to its timeless choreography and the soulful lyrics and music composition by Madurai Sri R. Muralidharan. This presentation by the four dancers is a mark of their evolvement during SDN’s lockdown sessions.

In this song, the devotee declares that the beauty of Nataraja in Chidambaram, cannot be expressed in words!

He, who is the Lord worshipped by thousands of sages, is omnipresent in this Universe. Words can not suffice His eternally ecstatic Dance, says the devotee.

His bow like eye brows twitch this way and that way as He dances with the matchless Nine Rasas. His consort, Uma dances gracefully by His side and the Ganaas accompany Him on the music. The crescent moon, the Kondrai flower and His matted hair dance asserting the annihilation of sorrow. The tiger skin which adorns His waist, dances; the Universe dances; the devotees who seek refuge, also dance. The snake ornaments dance and the entire cosmos dances in Ananda! Words cannot describe His blissful dance in Chidambaram.
