If one team of 45 children will present Ramayana another team will present ‘Sri Krishna Leele Kamsa Vadhe’ sequence  in the next few days. Patla Satish Shetty,Padmanabha Upadhya and Devananda Bhatta are assisting as Himmela artiistes.

 

 

 

 

It is indeed  highly appreciative on the part of these  popular Tenku Tittu artistes to  train the children in Yakshagana  at a time when  Yakshagana shows are  being regularly held back in their home district during the festive season.

It has to be said that Vidya Kolyur has taken a challenging job  of training the kids  in the  art by identifying the capabilities of each  child. The children are also being guided by Rakesh Rai, Mohan Bellippady, Prashanth Shetty  Nelyady, Harinarayana Edneer and Arun Jarkala.
