Ranga Mandira Trust will showcase its dance production,'Sri Valli'.
The premiere of the production will be held at Narada Gana Sabha on Nov. 27 at 6.30pm.

Swarnamalya who has conceptualized and choreographed this dance drama says, “The divine marriages of Gods has been told and retold several times through our literatures, scripts, poetics and performing arts. As I researched, the spiritual background and meaning in the kalyanam between Lord Muruga and Sri Valli as the Lord taking control of 'icchasakti' and thus blessing all his creations, expounded by philosophers, writers and great minds like Sri. Krupananda Variar truly kindled my further quest. Icchasakti, is described in scriptures like the Malinivijaya Tantra and Vaasistha as “That Supreme divine energy which becomes the energy of desire when Brahman, the supporter of the universe, wishes to create. This should be known thus and in no other way”.

This dance drama has the natya elements to celebrate a divine wedding, the grandeur in costumes, colors, stage settings, dialogues, the immortal poetry of Sankaradas Swamigal and Suddhananda Bharati, classic music score by musicologist Sri. 'HMV' Raghu, many talented musicians and dancers.

This creation is a dedication to the classic tamil film Sri Valli produced in the 1940s by AVM starring Sri.T.R.Mahalingam.
