In the Vedic scriptures the word ‘Shiva’ appears to define noble characteristics of a person attributing benevolent qualities of compassion, graciousness, generosity etc. However, this concept is personified in religious texts and Shiva is worshipped as supreme god. He is the manifestation of creator and destroyer. Tales of Shiva – Shive are being brought out as thematic dance presentation ‘Abhigamya Tatvam Prati’,which depicts ‘Obeisance to Shiva’. This concept was developed and choreographed by young dancers of the city — Apoorva G. Murthy, P. Shubhratha and R. Pavan Kumar — all of who have undergone extensive training under renowned gurus.
