Pushpanjali (Eng/Tam)| Ep -40 | Smt. Saikrupa Prasanna | Yathna Darshnam

Pushpanjali
A unique audio visual medium to explain the essence of the written text in Prayathnam's theory book. This aims at improving diction and pronunciation in the student as they learn the meanings and explanations for the various topics outlined in the syllabus. It is both in English and Tamiḻ, for effective communication.
An offering with flowers, when literally translated is the meaning of the word Pushpanjali. The essence of this offering is to pray to the Almighty to remove obstacles, bestow knowledge to the prekshaka, welfare to the leader, protect the dancer and allow the shishya to fulfill his/her commitment to the Guru.
Pushpanjali is a significant and vibrant piece largely employing nrtta and performed typically at the beginning of any repertoire.
