One of my little students applied gorintaku (henna/mehendi) on her little feet which instantly reminded me of a book I read long ago, Pasidi Muvvala Parani authored by my revered Guru Dr. Nataraja Ramakrishna 🙏
Watching these little feet dance was delightful!
Sri Rama Navami wishes from Upasana 🙏

It was an unforgettable evening yesterday. Watched the beautiful Arangetram of Ashu, daughter of our dear friends Sridevi Srirangam and Mahesh Srirangam. It was an amazing presentation!!
Adding to the pleasure was meeting Kala Krishna sir, Rama Jagannath akka(who sang for my Arangetram a few decades ago!!), Padma akka and her husband Sri Denduluri Nalini Mohan garu of Denduluri foundation/Swaranartana Academy and Kavitha Reddy. It is always a pleasure to meet Sujatha Vinjamuri garu!
