”வெள்ளி எழுந்து வியாழம் உறங்கிற்று
புள்ளும் சிலம்பின காண் போதரிக் கண்ணினாய்
குள்ளக் குளிரக் குடைந்து நீராடாதே
பள்ளிக் கிடத்தியோ. பாவாய். நீ நன் நாளால்
கள்ளம் தவிர்ந்து கலந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.”
_திருப்பாவை

From the Kathakali performance based on "Dhuryodhana Vadham" from the epic Mahabharatha performed by Janabheri Kathakali Kendram and Kottaikal Devdas playing the role of Roudra Bheema.
Kathakali is a highly stylised classical Indian dance-drama noted for its attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's southern state of Kerala during the 16th century AD, approximately between 1555 and 1605, and has been updated over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming.
Kathakali requires elaborate make-up and preparations by self as well as by others and the preparations start atleast 3 hours before the show.
The word mudra in Sanskrit means “to delight in”. The power of these beautiful gestures to evokes deep feeling in the observer and joy in the practitioner. In a yogic sense it explain the process of sealing and strengthening the body's vital energies. Mudras being an essential part of classical Indian Dances, used to express the vast array of human emotion and experience.
"சிற்றம் சிறுகாலே வந்துன்னைச் சேவித்துன்
பொற்றா மரையடியே போற்றும் பொருள் கேளாய்;
பெற்றம் மேய்த்துண்ணும் குலத்திற் பிறந்து நீ
குற்றேவல் எங்களைக் கொள்ளாமல் போகாது;
இற்றைப் பறைகொள்வான் அன்று காண் கோவிந்தா!
எற்றைக்கும் ஏழேழ் பிறவிக்கும் உன்தன்னோடு
உற்றோமே ஆவோம்; உனக்கே நா மாட்செய்வோம்;
மற்றைநம் காமங்கள் மாற்றேலோ ரெம்பாவாய்."
-திருப்பாவை

A graceful ballerina captured mid-leap during a studio photoshoot, wearing a vibrant pink leotard and pointe shoes. Her sheer, flowing fabric trails behind her, creating an ethereal sense of motion and elegance.
This image is part of a new series of digital images I'm very excited about that use predominantly creative-commons photos as springboards for experimentation with color and technique in order to evoke a variety of physical, mental and emotional responses in viewers.

It all about that. What you do, how much of it you do and what is the tolerance level of such an act. I for starters am clueless about balance, regardless of how many stupid mistakes i make its the same old mistake of driving right into the concrete wall. Someday i hope i will learn..

I bullshit you not. I didn't photoshop this. I just timed it right because i was smart enough to carry a tripod. I attended a Bharathnatyam Dance Concert today. It was mind blowing. I went early and i got a seat in the first row and i set up the tripod and camera's to shoot. It was exhilarating an experience. After 2 hours i had with me 1100 RAW files to process and im still not even done copying them to my hard drive. :-(
The dance posture here is to resemble "mareesan" Ravana's brother. Mareesan disguises himself as a deer to attract sita's attention so that she can be lured out of her home so that Ravana can kidnap her.
The dancer here leaps like a deer to tell the story of Ramayana. I will accept without shame that im an illiterate when it comes to classical art forms. It does not take a rocket scientist to show how much of effort has gone into such dance. I'm humbled and im impressed. I'm inspired to look at artists work so hard and display such talent. Its just mind blowing.
Thanks to Daksha and Amirtha for inviting me and coordinating my seating in the front row. I had a wonderful time today. Words cannot express how happy im today enjoying such quality time witnessing art in one of its best performance's.

I didnt adjust the white balance. Actually the light was reddish. If i adjust the white balance it will look more realistic and less dramatic :-)

Again Photoshop.. only on the background :-)
At a restaurant in Siem Reap ,Cambodia.
During the course of the meal these lovely ladies demonstrated the elegant classical dance of Cambodia with its stylised hand movements ,striking costumes & elaborate crowns. It is a very old Khmer tradition as can be seen from the carvings on the ancient Angkor temples. Alas the stage lighting was rather poor & it kept changing so most images were rubbish.
