Presenting Kālinga Nartana Thillāna, a famous and vibrant composition of Oothukaadu Sri Venkata Kavi, extolling the splendour of Lord Krishna's Kālinga Nartanam. Surrendering to the slayer of the Serpent King Kalinga, the annihilator of our Ahamkaara, this dramatic composition pictures the Lord's dance in our mind's eye.

This is a challenging composition of the poet, with packed lyrics and solkattus that echo the tumultuous movements of the snakes, the surging waves of the sea and the brisk dance of Krishna. Owing to its complexity, some of us could have not perceived the exact lyrics (as performers as well as audience). And since this composition has been made very famous by artistes with their lively rendition, we have probably not wondered about the correctness of the lyrics.
My first and foremost thanks to Sri Kuldeep M Pai. I wouldn't have laid my hands on this project, if not for the initiation of Kuldeep, who had asked me to help with finding the correct lyrics of the song.
My heartfelt Pranams and thanks to Dr. U.R. Giridharan who has magnanimously and graciously published a video of the lyrics and meaning of this song on YouTube ( LINK). My sincere thanks to Sri Mohan of Samskritha Bharathi who helped immensely with understanding the split of words and their meanings.
The version of the song that we performed many years back, and has been made famous by many artistes and art lovers so far, is an abridged version with some words misinterpreted. Now, after thorough research, we humbly publish this dance presentation to the unabridged version of the song with authentic lyrics.
Our heartfelt thanks to Sri Ramaswami, Preseident, Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan, Mylapore for magnanimously helping us with the venue.
