Premiered at Narada Gana Sabha’s annual dance festival, it is choreographed by Urmila Satyanarayanan and Sai Kripa Prasanna. The lyrics are sourced primarily from the Thiruvilaiyadal Puranam of Patanjali Munivar by Desa Mangayarkarasi and her student Aravind Kumar. Choreography and music are the two aspects that keep the interest alive in this lengthy production. The martial arts training sequence (choreography by Thiruchelwam) is impressive. Similarly, when Meenakshi marches with her army, the soundscape is seamlessly woven into the choreography, leaving a lasting impact.
