Balasaraswati, Balamma, Bala - in a never before seen, incomplete, film. The film is followed by two dance sequences by Lakshmi Knight shot at the residence of Rajika Puri in 1991.
What a brilliant labour of love… such a moving experience to see this collection of renowned artists share their memories with Bala and her family. It’s so amazing. Aniruddha’s vulnerable stories held me captive, and his life is testament to how life informs art which informs dance. Kudos on this treasure. 🙏🏼

I have not seen the dance of mrs. Knight. Punnagavaraali song abinaya was excellent. But, the music in Bal Amma's troup is so different.
May the brilliant lineage go on for infinity
My Pranams to Balamma and her Thanjavur lineage of music and dance. It is pathetic her daughter Lakshmi passed away at early age.
My pranams to balamma.
