¨ - You walk back because the next line is Charanam and therefor abhinaya. Begin Purvangam (usually in 1st speed or sometimes in chowkam). Please refer to the previous blogpost for actual lyrics. The blue color shows verses and green color shows swaras or simply musical notes (as in sa ri ga ma or some such combo :) ) The nattuvangam is in red.įor illustrative purposes I have shown the corresponding parts of nee indha mayam (in purple italics). The structure of a varnam with the nattuvangam is as follows. Therefore for the rest of this post, whenever I say Varnam, I mean pada varnam. Almost all varnam pieces in dance training are pada varnams because tana varnams are mostly to prove the prowess of one's singing rather than on nritta or abhinaya. "Pada" means verse, so true to its name pada varnam have a lot of verses (even for places where, in Tana varnams, you only have swaras). The Tana varnams are usually used in music training/concerts and consists more of the akaaram based singing/playing. The two popular types of varnam are Taana Varnam and Pada varnam. Varnams are of different types and have different purposes. Since this is a dance-based blog I will concentrate on dance based varnams. Varnams are milestones in the world of music/dance.
