Kamala and Bharatanatyam are inseparable words right from the year 1940, spanning the dance world for many decades. She was popular as Baby Kamala…later as Kumari Kamala, then famous as Kamala Lakshman….thereafter Smt. Kamala. During my childhood days and as I grew up to be a young dancer, my role model for admiration and inspiration was Kamala, the enchanting dancer.

ReplyDeleteDear Mam,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful tribute to a true legend, Kamala Lakshman. Your insights into her artistry and influence are truly inspiring. It's clear how much respect you have for her contributions to Bharatanatyam. Her dedication and captivating performances no doubt left a lasting impression, not just on you, but on generations of dancers.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
This is so beautifully penned. Through out the article, I could only imagine you, Gayathri ma’am as a youngster who was amused by the great artiste herself and how she inspired you in multitude. Thank you for making me part of this journey by narrating it graciously and with a pinch of humour, like you always do. I am sure, life comes in full circle. Just like how we all are running towards sanathana dharma, organic farming etc, sooner or later we all will turn back and make efforts to learn and spread the art farm in its authentic sense.
