Dramatic scene: Hunter-prince Thinnapar (left) spying a solitary shrine of Shiva in the woods and is filled with adoration for the divinity while his companion looks blankly during the dance show held in Dewan Sri Pinang, Penang.
THE Kalakshetra Foundation from Chennai, India, charmed Penangites with a magnificent dance production that told a story of devotion to Lord Shiva.
Dancers from the foundation performed the ‘Kannapar Kuravanji’, a classic written in 1880 about a hunter-prince named Thinnapar, who shows selfless devotion to the deity and becomes a ‘saiva’ saint.
