Outside the temple in Chidambaram, another Natyanjali

The yard inside a private campus located off South Car Street in Chidambaram was packed with people at 7 p.m.
Some 600 people sat to listen to a woman vocalist sing on stage.

This was Day 3 of the Natyanjali a private Trust holds year after year.

The Trust had been hosting the Natyanjali for over three decades inside the temple till the team got booted out by a set of Dikshitars who went on to curate a fest of their own.

This team, though discouraged has carried on its legacy. And does it well. The stage, the lighting, the seating and the visual coverage is of a good standard. 

From Bharatanatyam and Kathak to Pung Cholam and dancers from Singapore and Australia, this festival is well run. well presented.

This Saturday night, artistes from Imphal wowed the audience with their acrobatic drumming in Pung Cholam and Dhol Cholam.
Then, Chennai's Srekala Bharat and her dancers presented excerpts from Dasavataram.

The audience thinned after 9.30 p.m. By then, they had seen a variety of recitals.
