Ashtapadis have been sung in the temples of Kerala from the 14th century, and Bharati, an accomplished singer, has travelled to several temples in Kerala and documented the unique musical tradition known as sopanam.
She was the first dancer to have incorporated the geetha govindam ashtapadis, sung in the Sopana tradition, into the Mohiniyattam repertoire.
Bharathi has striven to bring together the gurus of various schools of Mohiniyattam on a common platform.
The technique of Odissi includes repeated use of the tribhangi, or thrice deflected posture, in which the body is bent in three places, approximating the shape of a helix.
Like other Indian classical dance forms, Odissi has two major facets: Nritta or non-representational dance, in which ornamental patterns are created using body movements in space and time; and Abhinaya, or stylized mime in which symbolic hand gestures and facial expressions are used to interpret a story or theme.
The divine love tales of Radha and the cowherd God Krishna are favourite themes for interpretation, and a typical recital of Odissi will contain at least one or two ashtapadis (poem of eight couplets) from Jayadeva's Gita Govindam, which describes in exquisite Sanskrit poetry the complex relationship between Radha and her Lord.
