Prayer is a triumph, in whatever form
Mandakini Trivedi performing Mohini Attam at Kalaghoda Arts Festival 2009 in Mumbai
Mohiniyattam is a traditional South Indian dance form Kerala, India. It is a very graceful dance meant to be performed as a solo recital by women. The term Mohiniyattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniyattam" literally means "dance of the enchantress".
Ms. Mandakini Trivedi with a Master's in Fine Arts from Bombay University's Nalanda Nrityakala Mahavidyalaya was a professor in dance for almost 10 years at the University. She was initially trained in Mohini Attam by Dr. Smt. Kanak Rele. She received the Central Govt. Junior Fellowship for research in Mohini Attam. Under this project she studied dance under Mohini Attam Masters - Smt. Kalyanikuttiamma and Smt. Satyabhama and more recently under Smt. Kalamandalam Leelamma. Since then Mohini Attam has been the focus of all her creative work. Her style now is a blend of all the inputs and influences that she carries.
