Smarami Ramam - Day 8A - Uyyala Loogavayya

Smarami Ramam - A dance offering in commemoration of the inauguration of the Bhavya Ram Mandir at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi - series of video excerpts of dance choreographies on Sri Rama by Ananda Shankar Jayant
Smarami Ramam I Day 8A I Uyyalaloogavayya
An excerpt from Thyagaraja Ramayanam - a duet that looks at Ramayana through the vision of Thyagaraja with Valmiki Shlokas used for continuity.
Thyagaraja Ramayanam was one of the earliest choreographies of Dr Ananda Shankar Jayant that was created in 1986 as a solo or ekaharya. Since then it has travelled widely becoming one of Ananda’s longest running productions.
As the Prana Pratishta of the Bhavya Ram Mandir gets underway; and the Murti of Ram Lalla is consecrated, we share this excerpt that showcases mother Kaushalya trying to feed and put child Rama to sleep. Thyagaraja sees the divine apsaras come down to sing lullabies for the divine child, even as Kaushalya rocks the cradle to song and story imploring Rama to go to sleep !
