| Introduction | Bhagavatha melam denotes a troupe of artists who perform stories from the ‘Bhagavatha Purana’.The ‘Bhagavatha Purana’ is an ancient text of hindu literature taking the form of a story about the avatars of Vishnu as told by Suta maharishi. Kuchipudi Bhagavatha Melam is a group of people in modern day India coming together to preserve the tradition of Kuchipudi dance as it was conceived. Its focus is on encouraging talented young dancers from Kuchipudi to continue their education in dance and to provide them with opportunities to display their talent to varied audiences within and outside India. These students will be offered scholarships as incentive to continue to learn the dance form and take it up as a profession in order to carry on the legacy of nurturing distinguished Kuchipudi dancers at Kuchipudi village. The organization also aims to provide assistance to some of the exceptional yet under appreciated luminaries of Kuchipudi who have dedicated their life to the dance form by offering jobs as teachers and providing them with an avenue to pass on the wealth of their knowledge to future generations. |
