Shaiva Koothu
Shaiva Koothu is a performance series based on the Tamizh saint Thiru Karaikkal Ammaiyar’s “Thiruvalangattu Mootha Thiruppadhikam”. Thiru Karaikkal Ammaiyar was a remarkable female poet and devotee of Lord Shiva who lived during the 6th century CE in Tamil Nadu, India.
Shaiva Koothu is a vibrant and expressive Nangiar Koothu (solo storytelling tradition of the female performers of Koodiyattam) that incorporates elements of music, dance, and storytelling. It serves as a means to portray the spiritual and mystical experiences of Thiru Karaikkal Ammaiyar and her deep devotion to Lord Shiva. The songs and verses sung during Shaiva Koothu are in Tamizh, and they beautifully convey Thiru Karaikkal Ammaiyar's spiritual experiences, her love for Lord Shiva, and her journey towards enlightenment.
Kapila Venu adapts this work for the first time in the history of Koodiyattam.
Kapila venu will be accompanied by Kalamandalam Rajeev, Kalamandalam Hariharan, Kalanilayam Unnikrishnan

Immersed
“Krishna is one of the most beloved and interesting Gods in the Hindu pantheon. Literature,
Architecture, Dance, Music, Poetry, Sculpture...visions of Krishna everywhere! Can one make Krishna
into a belief or a concept? Can one hold Krishna as something fixed and static? Can Krishna be of any gender, class or faith? To me Krishna is the ever flowing river, the unquenchable flame, LIFE itself.”
- Aditi Mangaldas
Krishna, Achyuta, Manohar, Muralidhar, Vasudev, Anant!
Krishna, can you be all this and more? Who thought of you, Krishna? Whose imagination are you? Is
imagination greater than you?
Chakradhari, Giridhari, Achal, Anirudha, Keshava, Gopinath!
You are immeasurable, greater than any man, woman or even God!
Parabramha, Parathasarathi, Achal, Vishwakarma, Niranjan!
You are breath, always be at the edge of my being!
You are the journey, lead me through the vagaries of time!
You are passion and abandon, let me partake of all that you offer! You are LIFE, engulf me!”
Part 1: The inspiration is from the 108 names of Krishna. How can any man, woman or even God be
all this and more? Krishna, you can only be all this if you are ‘life’ itself.
Part 2: You are ‘life’ Krishna. You are the ‘breath’ that governs ‘life’, so always be near me or at least
at the edge of my being. Losing sight of you is like losing my ability to breathe, losing ‘life’ itself.
Part 3: Krishna, you are omnipresent, just like ‘life’ you surround me. You are the journey, take me
through the vagaries of time.
Vocal compositions: Shubha Mudgal and Aneesh Pradhan
Sung Literature: Sanvare Chhaila re..: Bhartendu Harishchandra | Aage Krishna...: Chheetswami
Seeking The Beloved: (Extract)
Through the poetry of Sant Kabir...
Ah, the fragility of life, this finely woven delicate tapestry of life!
Oh Lord, what thread have you used to weave this complex and intricate tapestry? That is drenched
and immersed in you and that I return as is!
Music Composition: Drishtikon repertory

T.M. Krishna in Concert
Award winning musician, T.M. Krishna presents a Karnatic music concert that explores the depth of ragas and emotions.
T.M. Krishna is a recipient of the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration, the Isai Perarignar Award, the Swathi Sangeetha Puraskaram, and the Pasumai Award. He is the driving force behind the Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha (formerly Urur Olcott Kuppam Vizha) and the Svanubhava initiatives.
He occupies a markedly distinct place in the Karnatik universe for the stunning individuality of his renditions distinguished for an inner luminosity and a passionate intensity that are all his own. Krishna belongs to a tradition, but is not owned by it. His concert stage, whether in Chennai or anywhere else in the world, is wholly classical but his concert practice is uncompromisingly his own.
He will be accompanied by HN Bhaskar- Violin, Praveen Sparsh- Mrdangam and Sai Subramanyan- Morsing
