The focal point of recurrence, Varnaam ‘Swamyi Vara Soladi’, in Purvikalini (Adi Tala), a composition of Dhandayuthapani Pillai of Nor, allowed the dancer to see the emotional arc of a loving heroine for Lord Muruga. Sai Binda navigated the literature with commendable maturity, especially on the routes where the heroine provoked her friend to call her beloved Kumaraswamy, which reveals the moments of frustration with subtle changes in longing, hope, and expression. Even when she infected in more dynamic lives, her footwork remained accurate.
Padam ‘Ninu Joda’ in Pannagavarli (Triputa Tala), who blamed Kushadhya, took out his strength in acting. Here, the heroine’s emotional reunion was performed with a gentle sadness with her long -unaffected dear, which was the gender in the air.
