| Vanaja enters to perform a Kuchipudi Tillana. On the stage, on the right, is the presiding deity - Nataraja - the God of dance. Lighted lamps, flowers, and various offerings are placed before his statue. On the left, are seated the musicians - from the left: a Mridangist (drummer, partly hidden by the pole), a Veena player (a stringed instrumentalist), a Nattuvanar (one who keeps the beat with Cymbals - his face hidden by a bulb), two vocalists - Rama Devi and a male lead dressed in chocolate, and finally, a Violin player. | ||
