Mysuru witnessed a spectacular celebration of classical dance at Noopura Nrithyotsava-2025 held at Kalamandira recently. Organised by Noopura Nrithyalaya, the festival featured over 70 performers aged between 8 and 50 years, presenting a rich repertoire of Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam before a gathering of nearly 1,000 rasikas.
The evening opened with Nrithyathi, a Shiva Stuthi set to rare choreography by Guru Divya Prashant, which received warm appreciation for its originality. A major highlight was Gokula Bala Krishna Varnam, a vibrant piece in raga Kalyani portraying the enchanting leelas of Lord Krishna — from granting moksha to Puthana to protecting Draupadi during Vasthrakshhepam.
