The expressive group began performances with Todenmangalam, which was a worship dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Following this, the Bharatnatyam exponent Shweta gave a stirring presentation called Sundaramshyam Surdas pada – a tale from Lord Krishna’s life.The performance that moved the hall with spiritual vibrations, however, was the Shiva Panchakshar Strota . The students also took this opportunity to create an experimental Devi Stuti which was a fusion of contemporary and classical form.
