A bhiruchi, a literary and cultural association of Vijayawada, arranges monthly variety cultural programmes. This month, Abhiruchi arranged an interesting dance drama titled Tamsoma Jyothirgamaya, a concept conceived by Dr. P.R. John and conducted by Father Ravisekhar, director of Kala Darshini, a cultural wing of Andhra Loyola College, Vijayawada.
The programme took place at V.H. Grandhalayam Hall. The ballet penned by Suravarapu Ramesh Babu was tuned by K. Suryanarayana who was also the singer. P. Hemanth Kumar choreographed it innovatively with a cast of nearly 25 dancers. The well-enacted dance drama carried the message that the almighty created the eternal light, which is the cause of the existence of the whole universe and this light is spread all over the globe, allowing people to live peacefully with samatha bhava.
The large cast included Padma Sri, Nagarani, Zeslin, Leela, Susmita, Vidya Sagar, Nagaraju, Pridhvi Raju, Pavan, Divya, Lakshmi Teja, Lekhyabharani, Nagamani, Sirisha, Nisha, Preeti, Prasant and several others.
Preceding the dance drama there was a meeting chaired by P. Panduranga Rao, founder president of Abhiruchi. Other guests of honour were Chaluvadi Mallikharjuna Rao, Fr. Ravisekhar, P. Krishnaji, secretary of Abhiruchi and Srinivasa Rao. At the start of the meeting, Dr. Konada Ashok sang the prayer song Ma Telugu Talliki. Madugula Ramakrishna compered the whole programme efficiently.
