MS Subbulakshmi-Valayunniha nyaan(padam)-Varali-misra jampa-Swathi thirunal

[@tmadanmenon]

Yes...the music and dance complement each other beautifully and that’s when a recital feels complete. Many of the Swathi padams have already been choreographed by renowned Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam dancers, later on in even in Kathakali. The royal composer-musician’s descriptive padam(s) touch upon different kinds of devotion to the main deity of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram. I have read that in March this year/2022 Swathi Thirunal's s ‘Panimathi mukhi baale’ in Ahiri raga ( that speaks of the composer’s ardent wish to be one with the Lord and the King portrays himself as a ‘Nayika’ seeking reunion with the Lord! ) conceptualised by Carnatic vocalist Sangeetha N Rao into a nine-minute Kathakali video was made ready with the help of veteran Kathakali exponent Kalamandalam Chambakkara Vijayakumar. wherein it was choreographed by Kalamandalam Chambakkara Vijayakumar. He was the Nayika in the music video "Nayika, The Eternal Love", ‘Nayika, in Kathakali format and that too from a woman’s perspective. Here MSS Amma presented a mlelodious rendition of the Maharaja Swathi Thirunal's padam- 'Valayunniha jnaana nisham saampradam"......Pranams
