Pouranic dramas taken up with flair
|
`Sri Krishna Tulabaaram' and spiritual discourses marked the cultural kaleidoscope last week.
|
The 138th monthly schedule of pouranic plays of poetic idiom featured Sri Krishna Tulabaaram in the Prema Samajam Hall.
A mythological event that depicts how Satyabhama to fulfil her desire of taking possession of Lord Krishna all for herself, egoistically, on the advice of Narada bestows him as a gift to the saint singer who himself advised her to do so. As per the agreement, she wanted to buy him back by way of weighing him in a balance with an equal weight of gold, diamonds so on and so forth possessed by her. Only after all such of her efforts go in vain she realises that the lord belongs to the entire universe and he is the Almighty personified was the story.
Ganasamrat titleholder Bagadi Vijaya Saradhi as Krishna, Vijaya Sai as Narada, B.A. Naidu as Vasantaka among others, D. Jagga Rao, B. Bapunaidu, R. Satya Rao, T. Dalinaidu and G.S. Reddy, exhibited excellent histrionic talent.
The credits behind the curtains were well shared by Ella Appa Rao on harmonium, Surisaheb on tabla, make-up, stage-decor and others by P.V.R. Murthy, D.V.N.R. Naidu, D. Maheshbabu, N. Simhadri, R. Kesav Rao and Chowdary Appa Rao, the president of the Niketan.
