Attended the spiritually uplifting Arangetram of Riddhi, a student of Nandhini Ashok, a member of the council of International Dance, UNESCO.
In Tamil Arangu means stage and Etram means ascending. Arangetram therefore literally means 'Ascending the Stage'
An Arangetram is the artists' first solo performance...
The arangetram was on the 5 elements of nature.
In South India there are 5 temples, all dedicated to Lord Shiva, each one of them representing Him as one of the 5 elements.
Kanchipuram: Shivji is worshipped as earth
Tiruvannaika: worshipped as Water
Tiruvannamalai: worshipped as Fire
Shri Kalahastlsha: worshipped as Air
Chidambaram: worshipped as Ether (Space)
Each of these elements are also associated to a Chakra in our body: The 5 elements of nature also stand for various Gods worshupped by us.
