Dancers, musicians and actors arrived in huge numbers from across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and mesmerised the audience with captivating performances encompassing traditional music, dramatic enactments, Harikatha, Kuchupidi, Bharatanatyam dances and soul-stirring flute performances, along with a spellbinding portrayal of the story of Prahalada.

The entire programme was also streamed live on YouTube so that people from across the world take part in the celebration of the great saint-composer.

Speaking to TNIE, temple executive officer D Krishna Prasad said, “It’s a great opportunity for budding artists to observe and showcase their talent; it serves as an excellent platform for them.”

Sushan Samadhani from the Netherlands, a representative of the Isha Foundation, commended the temple authorities for organising such programs consistently over the past few years and providing a platform for artists.
