Sharanya Chandran pays tribute to family through Shiva in triumphant solo Hymns to Hara
Sharanya Chandran Firstly, I will take the opportunity to apologize to the Delhi dance and music fraternity for my long periods of absence and delayed articles in the past year and a half. I had to prioritize many other issues that required immediate attention. Between travelling and setting things up, I could not meet deadlines. But I am trying to report as many events as I have notes about. I am also not being able to attend as many performances in the city as I would like to. Apologies for that too. Bharatnatyam dancer Sharanya Chandran did a solo at the IHC on 14 September. Sharanya is an established soloist and vice president at Natya Vriksha, being the daughter and disciple of Guru Geeta Chandran, and has also learnt from Guru K.N. Dakshinamurthi. She is empanelled with ICCR as a solo artist, is nationally graded by Doordarshan and has also learnt Carnatic vocal. Nataraja was virajman on the stage in the form of bronze figurines, probably from the family’s antique collection.
