The lecture-demonstration began with an invocation to the Almighty and the Gurus. Dr. Raju introduced the art form and narrated the stories she would portray through her performance.  Dr. Raju performed ‘Chollakatti’ in Ragam Ahir Kalyani, a piece rich in rhythmic syllables, followed by an engaging abhinaya performance depicting Lord Ganpati tying a snake on his belly to stitch it back. She then demonstrated Hasta Mudras where she encouraged audience interaction. The students matched the mudras with the recitation. This was followed by ‘Tandava – Nataraja Stuti’ in Ragam Revati, Talam Adi, narrating the making of Rudra Veena. The finale, a soulful Krishna Stuti in Malayalam, set to Ragam Vaijanti, Adi Talam, left the audience spellbound.

The session concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by the Cultural Prefect. it was a morning where tradition met inspiration and left everyone enriched and mesmerized.
