Artiste Revives Ancient Andhranatyam Prabandha

A young dancer named Sai Nikita Katuri performed an ancient dance called Andhranatyam.

This dance was almost forgotten, but a famous teacher named Dr. Nataraja Ramakrishna brought it back to life.

Nikita's performance was special because she showed deep emotion and skill.

She was trained by her mother and her guru, Shri Kala Krishna.

Many important people watched her performance and were very impressed.

This dance tells the story of a character named Satyabhama and her feelings of love and devotion.

Nikita wants to keep this old dance tradition alive while also exploring new ways to express art.

Meanwhile, Dr. Kandimalla Sambasiva Rao, a renowned writer and research scholar on Telugu theatre, has been working to document the history and evolution of Telugu theatre.

His recent book, 'Telugu Natakaranga Moola Stambhalu,' received wide appreciation.

He is now presenting a comprehensive visual chronicle titled 'Alanati Nataka Prasthanam,' which will be released on December 5 in Guntur.

This visual chronicle aims to preserve the cultural treasures of Telugu theatre for future generations.
