The dance program " APARA" was organized by Udupi Jayaram's grand daughter, Abhinaya Rohan, who is also a keen dance exponent, gave number of performances at various places.

SAROJINI JAYARAM
ROHAN BHARATH


This done through an exposition of four symbols associated with him.

1. Neelamegha - the dark rain cloud which pervades him,
2. Peetambara - The fabric which holds total companionship through its proximity to his body,
3. Mayil Peeli - the fallen peacock feather which finds glory on his crown,
4. Murali - The flute, which comes into the hands of the supreme musician, Krishna.

From this coming together of the creative spirit and the flute, emerge Naada and the ultimate Rasa and Raasa.

The celebrity dancers were Chitra Dasharathy, Sreejaya Nair, Roopa Manoj, Rajalakshmi S., Priya Kaul, Ashwathy Manoharan, Abhinaya Rohan.



The presentation was superb, with perfect synchronization of movements, expressions, steps, entry and exit of dancers. The lighting effect added to the beauty of dancers. Music was recorded CD and perfect to mood of the dancers.

Rohan Bharath (husband of Abhinaya) highlighted about the foundation and the compere did an excellent job. Mrs Sarojini Jayaram (W/O Udupi Jayaram ) was called on stage as good gesture.


Another striking feature was, there were no banners, no bouquets or mementos to the artists.

Only there was request for donations to help the victims of Alzheimer.
