Muralidaran set a record with the presentation of 50 jatis by 125 dancers who came online from around India and the worldThere was palpable tension and excitement as Bharatanatyam dancers around India and the globe nervously rehearsed, adjusted costumes, cameras and lights, as they waited for the cue to start. Most jatis were in Adi tala and the rest in tisra-nadai Adi tala and khanda-nadai Triputa tala,” said Murlidaran. Awards galoreThis is not the first time Muralidaran has created a record or set up a challenge. That evening he presented Chaturvidam — four margams in different talas — for the Guinness Book of Records, Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records.
