Review of Programme conducted by the Government of Andhra pradesh celebrating 500th year of coronation of Shri Krishnadevaraya @ Telugu Lalitha Kala Toranam
First of all i would like to convey my sincere gratitude to the Political Parties of India for facilitating me to attend this wonderful event by calling a nation wide Bandh.
As usual i would like to mention that this very programme was totally ill planned. I came to know about this programme only that morning....no proper advertisement was made....later came to know this very programme was organised at a shorter notice(in Company Law terminology).
When we reached public gardens i was more astonished to note that there was neither Welcome Arch nor banner ....erroneously we entered into Potti Sriramulu campus Auditorium where one Gentleman is giving big unendurable lecture.......thank god it took lesser time to realize that this is not the venue which we were looking for...
Then when we entered the other way around where we came across a beautifully decorated Chariot of TTD depicting Lord Balaji and Tirupathi Temple.....mind-bending one i say.
When we entered inside we came across beautiful big palace like construction showing glory of Vijayanagara Samrajya and Krishna Deva Raya's Rein..........We occupied first row with sky high expectations............. Event began at 6:00PM with play back singer Vinod Babu and his orchestra.......Rising Star Vijaya Lakshmi accompanied him they both sang very beautiful melodies on Telugu literature.....later S.P. Balu joined the feast rendering a song written by Jnanpith award winner C. Narayan Reddy, eulogising the king's reign and then Punya Bhoomi Naadesam song(MY GOD HE IS FABULOUS........జగమెరిగిన బ్రాహ్మడికి జంధ్యం యేల!)
Yamini Reddy(Daughter of reputed Kuchipudi artists Radha Raja Reddy) presented a welcome dance.....But my heart and soul are beating for Shriman Yella Venkateshwar Raoji's Mrudanga concert......
I truly remembered Baba Ramdev Ji’s different postures while attending Smt Yamini Reddy’s dance(being Kuchipudi illiterate) her body was so flexible my god ………To everybody’s surprise Dr. Yella Venkateshwar rao's programme was swapped with Bhuwana Vijayam programme……i was the most disappointed person …..under the LEADERSHIP OF Bethavolu Rama Brahmam(As Appaji) Programme started accompanying him Mudigonda Shiva Prasad, Garikapati Narsinga Rao(Tenali Rama Krishna), Tirumala Ramanujacharyulu…..
Their rendition was simply awesome mainly puzzle solving (Samasya Purnam) was like “ Padyalatoh RANAM”……….In between we heard a announcement that S.P Balu ji lost his mobile some where while giving his performance…….PRESENCE OF THIEF IN BHUWANAVIJAYAM?? :)
When glanced at my mobile I was more surprised to note that time was already 10:00P.M. but no body ready to leave the Bhuvana Vijayam……even Varunadeva gave his commendation with HEAVY SHOWERS………Then came announcement that Dr. Yella Venkateshwar Raoji’s programme postponed to next day!!
తెలుగుదేలయన్న దేశంబు తెలుగేను,
తెలుగువల్లభుండ తెలుగు ఒకండ,
ఎలనృపుల గొలువ ఎరుకనీ బాసాడి,
దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స
PS:
I firmly believe that i neither have ability nor capability of describing the glory of Shri Krishna Deva Raya, but still i make bold........
