The idea was to start in between darshan time so as the devotees settle down in their chairs, the organizers make the announcements and the sound engineers test the pen drive. The dancers are all lined up behind the barricade and teacher Madhuparna Kumar is giving last-minute instructions to her students.

The music begins, the little girls are set in a line and the audience is riveted to the show. After the little children, comes the second song performed by teenagers followed by older girls. Every song has a different mood and different emotions and the large marble floor of the temple is filled with color and fragrance. The emotion is the same, all the dances are addressed to Lord Krishna but the narrator changes from song to song.

To be continued…
