From Switzerland . . .

Switzerland-based Gayathri Sridharan and her mother flew down to be at the Natyanjali in Chidambaram. Gayathri studies dance from a guru who learnt under late K J Sarasa. Here in Chidambaram, dancer Shanmughasundaram led her to the stage.

Shanmughasundaram himself is a student of Sarasa, in whose memory a dance fest is being held in Chennai this week.

Both performed at the fest outside the temple on Day 2 of the fest - Feb.18 evening.
