Kuchipudi Parampara

Pranamya will be performing Kuchipudi, choreographed by her lineage of gurus, Smt. Srilatha Shri, Padma Shree Dr. Sobha Naidu, and Sri Jai Kishore Mosalikanti.

Krishna and Durga reveal profound ways of dismantling ego and relieving suffering, to alleviating human pain and pride. Krishna, in his playful acts of consuming butter and lifting Govardhan, shows that surrendering to divine love dissolves pride and brings protection, gently guiding us toward humility. Durga, in contrast, wields fierce energy to eradicate ego; with a single sound, she shatters the demon Dhūmralocana, symbolizing the destruction of ignorance and arrogance.
