(A mega dance drama on Thirunāngur Divya Desams)
Here is the excerpt from the premier show held on
June 29, 2024 @ Narada Gana Sabha, Alwarpet
Conceptualised & Produced by Dr Asha Krishnakumar
Music composed by Dr Rajkumar Bharati
Choreographed by Dr Sheela Unnikrishnan
Performed by 66 dancers of Sridevi Nrithyalaya
The 4th Scene starts with Tirumangai Azhwar & Kumudhavalli Nachiyar going to the 2nd set of Divya Desams, Paarthanpalli, Arimeya Vinnagaram and Kaavalambadi - with people following him.
Segment 1: Lord Krishna dances representing some of his episodes including protecting the remaining ‘Amrutham in the Kudam’ from the snake (Kudamadukoothan in Arimeya Vinnagaram). He keeps his foot on the Amirtham containing kudam, to prevent the serpent (Thakshakan) from having the remaining nectar after the Amirtham was eaten by the Devas, fearing that it may lead to proliferation of snakes (Aravugal) in the world.
Segment 2: He also saves the people of Brindavan from rains by lifting the Govardana mountain (Kaavalambadi).
Segment 3: Arjuna comes in search of water as he is thirsty. He sees Agasthiya muni doing penance, and sights his kamandalam. Takes the Kamandalam to drink water, but it is empty. He looks around in desperation for water. Lord Krishna appears, gives him a sword and asks him to dig in the place he points out. Arjuna does as told by Lord Krishna and water erupts, from which he quenches his thirst, and falls at the feet of Lord Krishna, who imparts his first lesson (upadesam) to Arjuna. Hence Arjuna is seen with a sword in this temple. (Parthanpalli)
