Post by shreelatasuresh »

here is the youtube video of the varnam, shivakama sundariye - It seems truncated! Does anyone know the composer and lyrics of this varnam on devi?

I do not think it is truncated. Here is another artist dancing to the same song.

Lji - I think the OP's question is very valid, as typically, padavarNams are 25-35 minutes long.
As far as I can tell, these are specially created varNams for competitions in Kerala. They are just 10 minutes long to fit the time slot requirements, and allow the dancer to showcase all aspects of his/her craft in that period.

rshankar: You are correct about the normal duration of a padavarna. But these versions have all the parts of a padavarNa. This is why i thought it was not truncated..

Yes it does have all parts of the varnam. I'm looking for varnams on Devi and came across this one. Any suggestions for padavarnams on devi?
