Can you please suggest suitable pieces for bharatanatyam on Godess Parvathi , preferably in a tala other than adi tala? Any language is ok.
Thanks.

If by Paarvathi you mean any Parasakthi, there is one we used to do in Kuchipudi

"Akilandeswari Chamundeeswari paalayammam Gowri
pari paalayamaam Gowri"

Song you can also get it from a Telugu movie called "SapthaPadhi"

Hope this helps.

Do you know whether I can hear this song on the web? What raga and tala is it in? Who is the composer? Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much Mr. Lakshman Sir.

Muttiah Bhagavatar has composed 108 songs on cAmuNDEshvari. I am sure many of them are in tALAs other than Adi. If you are interested I can look for some of them for you.

Oh Thank you so much Lakshman Sir.

Though this song is set in Adi Tala, the saranam is done in "Gantam nadai".
So for dance changing the "natai" totally boost the song.

**Lakshman** · 22nd April 2005, 08:27 PM

Aarvi: I couldn't understand what you were getting at. Which song is in Adi tALA and the caraNa set in khaNDa naDai?

**Aarvi** · 23rd April 2005, 08:09 AM

Sorry for the confusion Lakshman Sir.

I thought you have given the lyrics for the song that I had mentioned.

And since the request is for a dance song, I thought though the song that I had originally mentioned is set in Adi Talam, the Nadai is different for Pallavi, Anu pallavi and Saranams. Its just a beautiful piece in Kuchipudi.

Just trying to give suggestions.

Aarvi: Thank you very much for the suggestion. Is that song available on the web to listen to?
Lakshman Sir: We have some of the common songs of Muttaiah Bhagavatar. I am looking for a devi song for a dance arangetram. My daughter and her teacher would want to hear the song before selecting. If the songs are on the web it will be helpful. Do you know any website that has Muttaiah Bhagavatar's compositions? Thank you very much.
