“Ānandha Nāṭanam is a joyful and lyrical Bharatanatyam piece that celebrates the graceful dance of the peacock, often symbolizing Lord Murugan’s divine presence. The song portrays the peacock dancing with blissful energy and elegance, reflecting the vibrant beauty of nature in devotion. Dancers use fluid movements and expressive abhinaya to mimic the peacock’s charm and the ecstatic mood of the song. It evokes a sense of playful devotion and visual delight, making it a light-hearted yet spiritually rich performance.
Sheshfika will also demonstrate dancing on a plate (although it is part of Kuchupudi, it was a fun activity to learn to dance on the plate).
