Pingala- The Courtesan of Mithila

This choreography portrays the story of Pingala, a courtesan of Mithila, who transcends her worldly desires and attains spiritual awakening.
The performance begins with the beautiful Pingala adorning herself in pride and passion, awaiting her admirers. That night, no one arrives. Her vanity turns into despair, leading her to deep introspection and the realisation that life’s pleasures are fleeting and external beauty is ephemeral.
In her anguish, she hears the divine name of Sri Rama and seeks His blessings. Transcending worldly allure, Pingala awakens to spiritual light and surrenders at the feet of Lord Rama.
Lyrics by Sri Namangalam Madhavam Nambuthiri based on Kerala poet laureate Ullur’s original work, Pingala.
Music Composition by Sri Nedumpally Rammohan and Sri Palakkad Surya Narayanan
