PERINI : The Lost Dance of Telangana Revived | The Resurrection of an Ancient Art Form

PERINI : The Lost Dance of Telangana Revived | The Resurrection of an Ancient Art Form

Long before the world knew of contemporary Indian classical dance, the courts of the Kakatiya dynasty in Telangana were graced by Perini, a powerful and mesmerizing dance form. For centuries, it stood as a symbol of the region's cultural brilliance—until it vanished after the fall of the Kakatiya's, fading into obscurity.

But in 1973, one man, Nataraja Ramakrishna, embarked on an extraordinary mission to bring this forgotten art form back to life. With unwavering dedication and a deep understanding of its roots, Ramakrishna revived Perini, ensuring that this ancient dance would continue to resonate with future generations.

In this captivating documentary, we journey through the rise and fall of Perini, exploring its origins in the Kakatiya dynasty, the cultural void it left behind, and its resurrection by one of India's most passionate dance visionaries. Through rare archival footage, expert insights, and stunning performances, we bring you closer to the spirit of Perini—a dance that nearly vanished but was brought back through sheer willpower and devotion.

How did Perini, once on the brink of extinction, find its way back to the stage? Discover the transformative journey of a dance form that refuses to fade, and why it’s vital in preserving Telangana's unique cultural heritage."
