Nritta Dhyana Presents: Padam “Mukathe” Performance

Nritta Dhyana Presents: Padam “Mukathe” Performance

Experience the expressive beauty of Padam, an Abhinaya piece filled with emotion, satire, and devotion. In this unique Nindha Stuthi (a poetic form of satirical praise), the poet engages in a heartfelt, almost teasing conversation with Tiruvarur Temple's Lord Tyagaraja.

🕉️ Pallavi:
The poet questions the Lord playfully –
"Why do you hide your divine form from your devotees?
Is it because you think they’ll be afraid of the snakes you wear?
Or disgusted by your skull necklace?
Or perhaps you fear they’ll faint at the sight of your elephant-skin garment?"

🌸 Anupallavi:
The poet continues —
"Is there a flaw in your form that you’re hiding beneath garlands of flowers?
Is that why you only reveal your smiling face to us?"

A beautiful blend of devotion, wit, and artistry, this Padam brings divine playfulness to life through expressive dance.
