Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: Yakshagana artistes Sri Ramachandra Hegde, Kondadakuli, G.N. Hegde, Havalimane and Gopla Achari, Teerthahalli, will stage three separate prasangas (episodes) back to back, in the city, on Sunday starting at 2 p.m.

Organised by Sri Ananta Padmanabha Yakshagana Mandali Perduru and the city-based Yakshakala Sagara, the show will begin with the “Luv-Kush” episode featuring Gopala Achari as Kush. This will go on for around two hours. “Gadayuddha” will bring Kondadakuli on the stage. Known for his sharp and witty dialogues on modern life and politics, his shows have a touch of the contemporary. The two-and-a-half hour show will be followed by “Bhasmasura Mohini” with Hegde as Bhasmasura.

The trio of Ramesh Bhandari Mururu, Kusha Pujari and Ravindra Devadiga will add a touch of humour. The entry fees are Rs. 99 and Rs.60. For details, contact A.N. Hegde on 9845117781.
