She is a great artist in the domain of Indian classical dance!!!Really Very nice performance on a small part from one of the Indian epic ############################################ SHIVA-DHANUSH - The mighty bow which King Janaka had in his palace for many years. The bow was too heavy and gigantic to lift, with one of its chords broken. King Janaka made a pledge to give his daughter Sita Devi to a guy who lifts the mighty bow and ties the broken chord. He called for the SWAYAMWARA ceremony, in which every great king of those times including Ravana participated. Few of the kings tried to lift the gigantic bow but failed with injuries. The other few got terrified at the bow, gave up the challenge and fled away. While the rest of them fell unconscious just by looking at the bow. Ravana, finally lifted the bow but then he lost the control and dropped it, thereby failing the challenge. FINALLY, Prince RAMA came!!! With extreme grace and huge devotion, he lifted the mighty Shiva-Dhanush, bent it and tied the broken chord very easily. Thus he won the Swayamwara and married princess Sita!!! Bhavayami Raghuraamam, composed by the poet king Swathi Thirunal in Raagamalika - A solo number by Padmashri Shobana, at the Chennai music season, December 2013.
