.......................................Mamallapuram Dance Festival..................................................I am witnessing one of the most prolific display of Indian Classical Dances these days. I have come to Tamil Nadu to be a spectator in the famous Mamallapuram Dance Festival. The festival started on the day of Christmas and will continue till 25th January. A month long dance festival, that makes it the longest dance festival in India.
I have now been here for three days and every night has been a special one. I saw live performance of Bharatnatyam that absolutely mesmerized me. As much as the dance is intriguing, the backdrop is also mind blowing. The venue is the Arjuna's penance. It is a bass-relief carved on two gigantic rocks. There is a performance of different dance every night. All Indian classical dances like Odissi, Kuchipudi, Kathakali and Kathak are slated to be performed here during Mamallapuram Dance Festival. The performers are all very well known and established dancers.
So if you are coming to Mamallapuram or even Chennai which is only about 50 km from here, do not miss out on this dance festival.
