During Shivaratri, Rama and Krishna take a relief and make an appearance in all His Excellency on the dance platforms. Shanmugasundaram performed at the Sarsalaya Dance Festival and presented the compilation of three works on Shiva.

The presentation highlighted the spirit of devotion and surrender. There was a piece of thwaram opening by Tirunvukasar, where Shiva and his various characteristics were depicted.

After this, Shanmugam proceeded to find out emotions in a little raga Padvaram ‘Ruopamujuchi’ (Muthuswamy Dixit). The devotee requested Shiva not to get angry and accept his love and put his philanthropic gaze at him. The initial sequence revealed how the devotee, who is busy in provoking flowers, runs to catch a glimpse of Shiva, being taken in a procession on Rishaba Vahhana. He is overwhelmed by sight. The Shanmugam presentation included all the details such as The Shape of the Vahana, the grandeur and the procession made in the procession.

The line for the line ‘Samu Intahkopamu’, where the flowers that flowers did with love, were handled by the dancer to make a garland angry or bring sandalwood paste. The scene of the panchayats was also cleverly performed. The thinkers were interestingly manufactured-Pratikala was a moment of restraint marked by the pose, followed by the fast-booking thermmanams.

In the closing piece, the dancer expanded the Shiva Panchaksra Stotram ‘Nagendra Haraya’. Each line was explained through relevant gestures. Although the performance was based on devotion, a variety of feelings were designed for better effects. Sukanya Ravinder conducted recurrence with flourishing. Kaushik Champaxon on Vocals, Venkat Subramaniam on Mridagam, Soumya Ramesh on Veena provided competent assistance. Roshni was performed by Venkatesh and choreography was performed by Figure Visvesvaran.
