Mysuru: Devagitam Charitable Trust, Mysuru, has arranged a dance recital by renowned dancer Dr. Rohitha Eswer and Chinmayee Bharadwaj on Jan. 8 (Sunday) at 6.30 pm at RamaGovinda Ranga Mandira, Ramakrishnanagar, in commemoration of Sri H. Yoganarasimham’s 125th anniversary.
Dr. Rohitha Eswer will be presenting select verses from the famous Meghadutam, the well-known poetic work of Mahakavi Kalidasa, the greatest of Sanskrit poets (4th- 5th century CE) of our country. Meghadutam, comprising 120 stanzas, is a message of love written by a Yaksa (a nature spirit) to his beloved wife while in exile. The great scholar of Sanskrit literature, Arthur Berriedale Keith, notes that this work of Kalidasa has gained the praise from Indian critics for its brevity of expression, richness of content and power to elicit sentiment.
