Margam by Harinie Jeevitha

The word 'Margam' means 'path'— a sacred journey in Bharatanatyam, where each piece unfolds like a step toward the Divine. It begins with an invocation, and gracefully culminates in the vibrant rhythm of a Thillana.

The Margam that Harinie will be presenting is a tapestry woven with shades of joy, devotion, and love. From a playful Alarippu evoking the innocence of childhood games, to the grandeur of Lord Kapaleeshwara’s celestial abode in the Varnam, and the love-laden groves of Brindavan in an Ashtapadi, to the jubilant cadence of movement in the Thillana—the Margam invites us to traverse a landscape rich with emotion and beauty, translating into a journey that is both internal and eternal.

Harinie Jeevitha is a dedicated artiste who has been learning the art of Bharathanatyam from the age of six. With the able guidance and training from her teacher, Dr. Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan, Harinie has come a long way in proving her artistry in this field with grace and vitality, carving a niche for herself as one of the most promising artistes of her generation.
