VAYAM ATRA (Sanskrit)

VAYAM ATRA, in our view, speaks of Tharangini's courage and vision to present a SANSKRIT song; not an oft-attempted effort in any performance in this genre in the world today (probably). While being patriotic and eulogizing our motherland, we also weaved in RECITATION as a form of art, again, not something you would find very easily today. The gist of the song is presented in the poetry, making it accessible to a wide variety of audiences globally. The sublime dance performance only added to the mystique of this number. This performance was part of Tharangini's mega-charity show in Hong Kong on May 24, 2008, MANJARI - A BOUQUET OF MELODIES. Vayam Atra is a traditional number.
