Bharatanatyam Guru Meenakshisundaram Pillai,
the Pandanallur propitiator, was to be honoured for his amazing
choreographies by the Raja of Ramnad, Shanmukha Rajeswara Sethupati. For
the occasion, the guru thought it fit to present a special piece in
praise of the Raja, and so choreographed a varnam in Vachaspati, which
was presented by his disciple Pandanallur Jayalakshmi. While the Raja
was impressed with the dance, he was even more impressed with the
dancer. And, they were married.
