Padam – Inimel
In this modular course, you will learn a Tamil Padam ” Inimel Avarukkum yennakkum”. Inimel Avarukkum is a Tamil Padam composed by the poet Kavi Kunjara Bharathi in Raga Bhairavi set to Tala Mishrachapu. Here the Nayika says to her friend “Hence forth even if Lord Muruga comes to me on his own accord and talks to me nicely, our relationship will not workout anymore even for a moment. Please leave.”
Basically, Padam is a musical monologue, which resembles a keertana in structure and propagates the sentiment of love for God through the innumerable aspects of Nayika–Nayaka bhava. It is a scholarly composition with a perfect blend of Musicality and Lyrics. The mood of a particular context in a Padam is usually complex and is the resultant of various circumstances and problems of emotional nature. Most Padam compositions deal with the theme of love with ample scope for varied treatment and the Ragams (melody) has been composed as to suit the theme and the context.

Abhinaya
Abhinaya is ‘the art of expression’, which is very unique to all Indian classical dance forms. The meaning of the lyrics of the song that the dancer dances to is conveyed to the audience with the help of facial expressions, hand gestures and body movements and this is called Abhinaya. Padam, Javaḷi, Shloka, Bhajan, Aṣhṭapadhi and Devaranama are some of the main compositions that belong to the Abhinaya section in Bharathanatyam. There are thousands of compositions written by several composers encompassing varied human emotions that are universal in nature.
Modular courses in Abhinaya are part of the main course ‘Master classes in Abhinaya Level 1’, where there are 6 modules consisting of 5 compositions, each of which varies in language, theme, Raga & composer. There are 3 Padams, 1 Javali and 1 Devaranama in “Master classes in Abhinaya” Course.
