Guru G.V.Ramani Natya Kala Foundation and Navi Mumbai Tamil Sangam proudly presents thematic
dance presentation in the Bharata Natyam style known as “Divyam Pushpam” pertaining to the
significance of five flowers which are considered favourites of five deities. The programme is curated
and conceptualised by the renowned cultural personality, Dr Usha RK. The programme will be held
on Saturday 14 th November, 6pm at the hall of Navi Mumbai Tamil Sangam in Navi Mumbai.
The five dancers who would incorporate five flowers and their respective deities are Shivaranjani

Gowri Sagar for the Parijata flower for Lord Krishna, Sagarika Patwardhan for the Lotus flower for
goddess Mahalakshmi and Sahana Selvaganesh for the Kadamba flower for goddess Parvati.
Leading Bharata Natyam exponent and the director of Guru G.V.Ramani Natya Kala Foundation,
Guru Gayatri Subramaniam says “ I am only the facilitator for this programme and when Dr Usha Rk
came forward with this beautiful thought and idea of such a presentation, I readily agreed to
organise it. Flowers are among the most beautiful creations of the Almighty and when you associate each flower with a particular God it becomes all the more significant”
Dr Usha Rk has held important positions both in the government and private sector and is among
the most respected cultural personalities of the country. Dr Usha RK will shortly start a specialised
course for the students of performing arts at Nalanda Nritya Kala Mahavidyalaya in Juhu known as
“Kala Prabandha” that will facilitate and analyse the various aspects and qualities necessary for you
to become a successful classical dancer, singer, organiser or administrator for that matter.
