Apsara, the most important name of my life. Even the name has to keep ensuing me for the rest of my life. I like to pronounce this name every day. I always pronounce it full of my feelings as a dancer and apprehend the meaning in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apsara is a type of female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist culture. In Indian mythology, apsaras are beautiful, supernatural female beings. They are youthful and elegant, and superb in the art of dancing. They are wives of the Gandharvas, the court musicians of Indra. They dance to the music made by the Gandharvas, usually in the palaces of the gods, entertain and sometimes seduce gods and men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As Maria says in\nthe story, there are plenty of texts and resources to tell all this. “Art\nis about working from the known to the unknown,” is the lifeblood of the\nstory. The story is not only about Apsara dance, it depicts the event of\njoining something unknown. If a person feels deeply dependent on one another,\nunknown events will occur in their life. The power of believing in something\nwill take place. In the story, Chandavi, Maria, Shama, and Abrami were able to\nsee the miracle only after believing that Angkor Wat was the land of the\nApsaras. After trusting in one matter, the mind begins to love it. Those\nfeelings will perform all the miracles around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angkor Wat is\ntruly the world of the Apsaras. There are over 2,000 Apsara statues. As a\ndancer, I can feel precisely how amazing it will be if each statue would come\ninto life. The Apsara dance, the traditional dance of Cambodia, appeared just\nby looking at the Apsara statues in Angkor Wat. The sound of the forest around\nAngkor Wat blew out throughout the Angkor Wat. During sunset, the sound of the\nforest continues to polish the musical pattern. The beauty of the pond in\nAngkor Wat is mind-boggling. My congratulations to the writer M.Navin who\nbrought all this beauty in his storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M.Navin has\nbrought some interesting dance features in this story very precisely which\ndancers like to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely,\nBharatanatyam has powerful movements. There are no movements for the waist and\nthe shoulders. Meanwhile, Apsara dance is similar to the elegance of smoke.\nSuch a comparison could have been made only if seen the dance very closely. I\nwas thrilled to read a line comparison of Bharatanatyam and Apsara dance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could have\nbeen a 100 years old duration story. Santhavi was old when she met Maria.\nAccording to Shama, Maria is an old woman. Abrami also met Shama with a\nnotebook that she had kept for 40 years. So, it could have been a chain\nconnection among them. When they manage to convince someone of the secret where\nAngkor Wat is Apsara\u2019s world, the door is opened for them to join the Apsara\u2019s\nworld; They become the statue of Apsara. So, there was always a representative\nto tell this secret. In addition, the number of Apsaras who are dancing in\nAngkor Wat every night keeps increasing. As a dancer, I was delighted with the\nconcept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reading the\nstory some questions appear in my mind. What if Shama has been doing in Angkor\nWat for 40 years without continuing to be a newspaper reporter? Did she watch\nthe Apsaras dance every night? Is she looking for a person who believes Angkor\nwat is the world of Apsaras? Or else Shama was preparing her soul and body to\njoin the world of Apsara? Is the 40 years would have been enough for her if she\nhad been prepared for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story will\nalways be close to my soul. My thanks and congratulations to writer M.Navin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
