Mandi Adavu Fourth variation
Here is yet another variation to mandi adavu. This is done 100 percent in purna mandi. Dancer would first jump in purna mandi. Then jump and place the right/ left knee on the floor. Such a posture, where one knee rests on the floor is called Parshvasuci. The hands are in Tripataka hasta held in Natyarambhe. Watch the video and take a look at the subtle movements.

First, hello to you!
Well, I got to the mandi adavu and no way
for me. I’m in my 80′s with a b’day coming
up this Sat!
So. that adavu I will skip -for noe.
but, all the rest, so far, have been a great
challange for me. What I miss is a guru
to help refine the steps and movements
of each step.
I hope to replan my trip to Chennai this
year and spend some time with Adyar Lakshman.
I find that some adavus I love and others only
so so. But, all must be taken into account for
the performer and give more dimention to the
dance.
Thanks again for your wonderful videos.
