Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s dance fest in Coimbatore showcased myriad themes. The 17th dance festival organised by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s Coimbatore Kendra at its auditorium featured some brilliant, thought-provoking and poignant portrayals. A multi-faceted personality, Nandini Ramani has made a mark in the fields of Bharatanatyam, Carnatic music, Sanskrit theatre, research, publication and writing. The three-day dance festival began with a graceful Bharatanatyam presentation by Sherin George, member of Bhavan’s faculty for Bharatanatyam. The highlight of her dance was ‘Yati’ – presentation of the various musical patterns ––Samayathi, Mridanga yathi, Damaru yathi, Gopuchcha yathi and Srotovaha yathi.
