The Parampara
series—the annual
festival of dance and
music organised by
Natya Tarangini, the
29 year-old institution
devoted to Koochipoodi
and run by Raja, Radha
and Kausalya Reddy, has
become a major event in
the cultural calendar of
the Capital.
Significantly, it also
reflects the progress,
rather the vertical
growth, of the 'odd man
out' in the female-oriented
dance scene, and more so
in Delhi. Hailing from an
agricultural family in
Andhra, Raja ventured
into a very much nontraditional field with
limited natural endowments normally considered necessary for the
vocation.
