An eminent Kuchipudi dancer, an art, design and media lecturer, a Guinness Book of World Record holder – Abhinaya Nagajothy.
Abhinaya is a charming and down to earth girl and undoubtedly an amazing Kuchipudi dancer. With big bright eyes and and a pretty smile she made me her fan. .I got a chance to do her profile shoot at Khajuraho Festival of Dances where she had performed.
Let me share my spiritual connection
with Abhinaya then a beautiful friendship with the eminent dancer. I was
shooting the event at Khajuraho festival of dances and she had to
perform with two more amazing dancers of different classical dance
forms. I saw Abhinaya from my view finder in a bright yellow and pink
dress with beautiful traditional jewellery and make up, she was looking
like a Goddess, I just could not remove my eyes from her.. with poised
expression and a mudras,
as she entered the stage and I saw her through my camera’s view finder I
thought as if a beautiful Goddess coming down from heaven.
Any how I managed to click a few pics as
she along with her co dances started performing, but slowly I was so
mesmerized that I don’t even remember when I had stopped shooting
pictures. I was just out of the world watching her perform, trying to
stop my self from shedding tears or rather I would say I was trying to
get my self back to this world.. having tears in my eyes and goose bums
all over my feet got stuck to the ground and I stood at the very spot
where I was shooting, I could not move a bit till her performance was
over.
When she finished her performance and
was coming from the back stage.. I simply ran towards her putting my
full strength..I think at that moment I was totally out of the world and
just wanted to meet her before she goes back .. yes! I thought she is a
Goddess and she would go back, I wanted to check whether she was real
or not. When I reached her she was taking to media personals in English
with spectacles on her eyes.. I suddenly came back to world .. Yeh It
sounds strange..but yes she made me feel out of the world and I had that
great spiritual connection with her.
