Innovative presentations:

‘Naadhalayaa Nattiya’ is the most innovative, powerful and soulful form of typical Bharathanattiyam. Nadhaswaram and Thavil accompany the traditional dance here. Jathis and Korvais give the extract to Naadha and Thala (Naadha & Layaa). The presentation is twinkling from past 26 years.

Naadhalayaa Nattiyam is one of the most sophisticated and graceful forms of classical dance.

• ‘Naadha or music’ from vocal, nadhaswaram and violin
• ‘Layaa or rhythm’ from nattuvangam, thavil and mrudhangam
• 'Nattiya or dance’ as rhythmic movements of pure aesthetic value and expressions

Naadhalayaa Nattiyam is almost all performed in temples as a form of prayer as well as offering to God.

Vibrant style of Bharathanattiyam by ‘Naadhalayaa Nattiya Kalai Arasiyar’, Chinnamanur sisters, A. Chitra - A. Sujatha and their students is always a special treat for dance lovers.

Many of accompanying artists of Chinnamanur sisters are also working as lecturers in Dept. of music, Annamalai University.
