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.

Hi. Please can you post a video of Pratham Sumar? Thank you,

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.
