Kalinga Nartana Tillana: Rukmini Vijayakumar 

It is a rendition which depicts Lord Krishna (as a young boy) playing with other children, losing the ball in a lake which is the house of a poisonous serpent. He then goes on to tame the serpent and ends with dancing on it's head which the serpent gracefully accepts after recognizing the divinity of Krishna. Here are some images of the same: 3.imimg.com/data3/YQ/JO/MY-7555386/ba1479-kalinga-krishna-500x500.jpg i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/5f/f2/d55ff293292ff430e8f3d3d8da319500.jpg

@@just_sadhana wow! Thank you very much for the detailed meaning of this dance. It makes me so happy that you have shared this with me.

@@cfaithp you're welcome 🙂

Its called nagnathaya dance also..

@Patrick Leahey thanks! I enjoy performing arts, music, and different cultures.

Lemme help you, Lord Krishna is said to be the most handsome, pretty and gorgeous of them all.... it is said that once lord Krishna was playing ball with his friends, and their ball fell in a lake, where there was a seven headed poisonous snake, so everyone urged Krishna to get the ball... And krishna fought with the snake, and krishna danced on the snake's head.... This dance depicts that fight, where in the poet has written it in such a way that the battle is going on in front of him, and he's praising the beauty lord Krishna... The grace, the moves, the way krishna dances, also u can hear the snake's hissing in the song it tops everything in the dance... I wish I could attach some pictures so that u would get an idea... None the less you can google "kaliya mardana" u will get images n I would urge u to watch this video after that... U will enjoy it even more

I’d like to know what the song talks about (generally speaking) could you please answer me? Many 🙏

@@glory207 This song describes the composer's description of the Kalinga Nartana episode, a very famous incident in the life of Sri Krishna and narrated in the various scriptures including the celebrated Bhagavatam. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliya for more details. Incident involves a snake called Kaliya that poisons the river Yamuna and how Sri Krishna vanquishes the serpant by dancing on its head. Characters in the dance would involve the snake, the river, and Lord Sri Krishna.
