Q.Who is the Siddhendra Yogi?
A.Natya mela, is a dance form performed by both men and women. Natya Mela was the forerunner of the present day Kuchipudi dance. Ascetic Siddhendra Yogi influenced Kuchipudi dance and gave the dance a new definition and direction. He confined it to only male brahmins, thereby giving dance the sanctity of the fifth Veda. Siddhendra Yogi refined and redefined this form of art known as Kuchipudi today |
