Sonai

Sonali,

It is not a composition of the mahAkavi, but of Kalki Sri Krishnamurti. IIRC, Sri Sadasivam was the first to understand the rich imagery and the potential for using it as a padam, and, it was choreographed by Vazhuvur Sri Ramiah Pillai and performed for the first time (as a dance padam) by Kumari Radha and Kumari Anandi.

Please refer to this thread for the meaning...
