Nandhi Vahanam at Kapaleeswarar Temple in the cool late evening to watch the
mesmerizing dance of Shri. Sugathan Mohandass – Kalakshetra Alumnus and The

consecuive year of Sugathan to offer his “Natyarpanam” to “Adhikaara Nandhi” through
his soulful dance. He Stunningly performed for two songs… “Kaana Kankodi
Vendum… Adhikaara Nandhi Sevaithanai” (a Tamizh Keertanam composed by Shri.
Papanasam Sivan on Lord Kapaleeswarar and Goddess Karpagambal - Mylapore) and
for a Tamil Lyric on Kapali and Karpagam composed by Smt. Revathy Shankaran. The
spell bound audience who have been his fans for these many years were
enthralled in his Bakthi Bhava and Bakthi Rasa. The Mylaporeans not only had a
darshan of Adhikaara Nandi Vahanam but also got themselves immersed in the
divine dance of the Sugathan, in complete veneration.
Sugathan has created a niche for himself in Divine Dancing for Gods in various temples on special occassions exclusively given to him.Sugathan wishes & prays to continue his divine dancing throughout for the Almighty….
