\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManasa Sriram, a disciple of Mahalakshmi Ashwin, began her recital at the Pongal Dance Festival 2025 with the invocatory hymn from the Thirumanthiram, \u2018Ainthu karathanai\u2019, in praise of Ganesha. She then moved to a Ganesha Alarippu set to Tisra Nadai Adi tala, showcasing the essence of Bharatanatyam\u2019s rhythmic foundation. Her movements were crisp and sharp. Following this, she performed a jathiswaram in raga Rasikapriya and Adi tala, a composition by Lalgudi Jayaraman.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor the varnam, Manasa chose \u2018Swamiyai azhaithu vadi\u2019 by the Thanjavur Quartet in raga Khamas. In the pallavi, the nayika takes along her friend to witness the procession of Sundareswarar during the Chithirai vizha. Manasa captured the anticipation of the nayika moving through the procession, even as the sakhi questions her if the lord in the procession is the one from the pancha sabhas. The sanchari portrayed the heroine\u2019s longing and devotion. Manasa chose a unique keerthanai, a visual exposition of the Dasha Mahavidya of Durga. In \u2018Sri Jagadeeswari\u2019, composed by Lalgudi Jayaraman in raga Ahir Bhairav, the dancer showcased fierce emotions, and the transition from intense passion to serenity was seamless. The red-and-orange-hued lighting enhanced the performance\u2019s appeal.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
