14th November, 09, the arches of Bhongir Fort as Preethi strikes a Kuchipudi dance pose.
Kuchipudi, a South Indian dance form originates in Andhra Pradesh. It presents scenes from Hindu Epics and mythological tales through dance-dramas combining music, dance and acting.
The lyrics used in Kuchipudi are usually in Telugu,and Sanskrit verses. While Kuchipudi, like Bharata Natyam comprises pure dance, mime and histrionics, it is the use of speech as well that distinguishes its presentation as dance drama. Kuchipudi dance-dramas, each present a particular episode or a series of episodes. A solo recital, on the other hand, typically consists of such items as the 'Sabdam', 'Bhama kalapam' which is the main item, 'Padams' and 'Tarangams'.
