Freakin' brilliant!! Play ball, lose ball into the river, kids scared of river snake. Cool blue dude swims to ball, confronts snake, vanquishes and tames snake, dances on its hood, retrieves ball. Legend.

Sorry but what's "cool blue dude"? You could have respectfully said "Sri Krishna". Kindly don't forget to use the honorifics next time. Thanks.

you guys in the comment section need to chill, Krishna is indeed a cool dude. Although he's not blue, he's dark-skinned, many of our dark-skinned gods and goddess became blue and green thanks to colonisation and colourism.

I am from Thailand, which was part of the ancient Indosphere, I can see how my ancestors tried to best capture this sacred expression into our classical dance. Although time has given rise to new styles, but I feel that through dance our ancient cultures still preserve this sacred bond that only the gods could have bestowed on mankind.

[@nutanbyakod2781]

Do you know the meaning of your name.. Son of victory...

[@denseone]

​@@nutanbyakod2781 Yes. Thank you. I believe the meaning in for "Kirti" may have evolved for Thai usage, here meaning "honor", so kirti-putra ... "Son of Honor". Originally, the Thai alphabet allowed for it to trace the name/pronunciation back to its sanskrit roots, but during WWII the alphabet was "modernized" to accommodate the typewriter and one of the markers was omitted changing the pronunciation in Thai from "putra" to "butr".

The last bit where she goes away, running with the ball in hand and also playing with it embodies the playfulness and cool of krishna. Amazing choreography and performance.

[@Shokunin_Spirit]

I don't say this flippantly but, the piece was so inexplicably beautiful that if I could like it 10 times I really would. There was so much going on the entire time that I was almost afraid to blink. The camera work and production quality also deserve special mention. This is definitely the first of many, many viewings for me.

I really felt that you were playing a game with a group of local children, and interacting with an entire village. I enjoyed your dance!

[@just_sadhana]

It is a rendition which depicts Lord Krishna (as a young boy) playing with other children, losing the ball in a lake which is the house of a poisonous serpent. He then goes on to tame the serpent and ends with dancing on it's head which the serpent gracefully accepts after recognizing the divinity of Krishna. Here are some images of the same: 3.imimg.com/data3/YQ/JO/MY-7555386/ba1479-kalinga-krishna-500x500.jpg i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/5f/f2/d55ff293292ff430e8f3d3d8da319500.jpg

My god what was that !!! U bought life to the song. How did u ace everyone's expression? Your dance is more than enough to understand the innocence of boys, the evil nature of the snake, the courage of Krishna, the scenario of Vrindavan. It was more than just a story. It felt like you saw this with your own eyes and tried to recreate the scene. I am still in shock.

[@hemapadmanabhan4913]

Cudn't see Rukmini. only saw Krishna dancing...May He continue to shower his grace upon you... This composition is in Sanskrit and not in Tamil. The error in the description happened probably due to the fact that Oothukkaadu Venkata Kavi's compositions are mostly in Tamil..Request you to make the correction

[@glory207]

I’d like to know what the song talks about (generally speaking) could you please answer me? Many 🙏

[@rsuresh6737]

@@glory207 This song describes the composer's description of the Kalinga Nartana episode, a very famous incident in the life of Sri Krishna and narrated in the various scriptures including the celebrated Bhagavatam. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliya for more details. Incident involves a snake called Kaliya that poisons the river Yamuna and how Sri Krishna vanquishes the serpant by dancing on its head. Characters in the dance would involve the snake, the river, and Lord Sri Krishna.

[@sandeshp6270]

Lemme help you, Lord Krishna is said to be the most handsome, pretty and gorgeous of them all.... it is said that once lord Krishna was playing ball with his friends, and their ball fell in a lake, where there was a seven headed poisonous snake, so everyone urged Krishna to get the ball... And krishna fought with the snake, and krishna danced on the snake's head.... This dance depicts that fight, where in the poet has written it in such a way that the battle is going on in front of him, and he's praising the beauty lord Krishna... The grace, the moves, the way krishna dances, also u can hear the snake's hissing in the song it tops everything in the dance... I wish I could attach some pictures so that u would get an idea... None the less you can google "kaliya mardana" u will get images n I would urge u to watch this video after that... U will enjoy it even more
