Hi

Can somebody tell me what she is trying to say in this from 7.30 - 7.35. This is a dance by Rama Vaidyanathan.

Mallaanaam aSanih - this phrase means Krishna (who is different things to different people) is the thunderbolt(aSani) to the wrestlers (malla-s) like Chanura (who were in Kamsa's court). She is depicting the thunderbolt striking, in that portion.

Hi

Thank you Rajani.

I think the karthari mudra is to show also death. Can we also use it to show it for killing like the "lord killing the demon in the battlefield"
