Sharmila Biswas and her troupe from Odishi Vision and Movement Centre performed at Nishagandhi amphitheatre on Tuesday. She is a discipline of Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra.
The four part offering was titled "Chaturmukhi". The opener, "Devi Bharni' was dedicated to Goddess Sambaleshwari. (is Sambalpur named after this Devi?). This was followed by 'Trikayee' exploring dance, music and rhythm. 'Leela' which followed was an Abhinaya of an episode involving Radha and her sakhi. The concluding number, Moksha was a joyous celebration of beauty and liberation.
Trivandrum has a vibrant and eclectic cultural scene. This is an attempt to showcase through photographs some of the events to give a flavour to the common man - not the cognoscenti. I will also post some curious views of Trivandrum which may even be a 'culture shock'! You will find that recently, I have been adding some snippets from the city not necessarily related to culture but give a holistic view of the life in this city.
