Attended a Angkuraarpanam/celebration of new beginnings, of a well renowned Bharatanatyam Institute, moving into new premises, in Hamilton, a one and a half hour’s drive from Auckland.
What a bold, commendable move by the Dance Director. The morning started off with puja, havan, then a Bharatanatyam performance by 3 young dancers, followed by awarding of certificates to dancers who had completed the recent dance examinations. Presented some certificates to the delightful talented upcoming artistes.
Once again, am bowled over the dedication and one-mindedness of the parents and children.
Draped a Red and Green Raw Pattu/silk, Veldari/checked podavai/saree. Red gold checked body, green pallu and blouse. The yarn has 3 silks and 1 gold cotton thread, braided and then yarned. 4 braids form a patch which is the reason raw silk sarees are thicker than normal silk. This 3 silk and cotton combo, adds the Shine to the Saree.
The pictures taken had to have the others cropped off.
Have also added 1 old photo with the same saree so that the full saree can be seen.
