| Vanaja dances a Kuchipudi Jati as Rama Devi (Urmila Dammannagari) keeps the Talam (beat) using a wooden stick and a stool. In the deep space, between the doors are Patams (Framed pictures of Gods and Goddesses) which give the room its characteristic feel of a Pooja or Prayer room. In the right, corner, hung on the walls, are anklets that dancers wear during stage performances. Kuchipudi dance items are often invocations to Gods and Goddesses, relating tales from ancient scripts. | ||
