Hyderabad: The stage was filled with colour, music and pure joy as 108 young dancers came together to do something spectacular. They performed for 108 Keerthanas in just 107 minutes, breaking the time set for the record of 108 minutes and earning a place in the Wonder Book of Records International.
From the moment the performance started at 7.07 pm to the final beats at 8.54 pm, the audience watched the dancers move gracefully to each Keerthana. The dancers, some as young as five, wore beautiful traditional costumes, sparkling jewellery and flowers in their hair.
The record attempt was designed to showcase 108 Keerthanas performed by 108 dancers in 108 minutes, a symbolic and spiritual number. The young performers completed the performance in 107 minutes, setting a new benchmark.
Organised by Om Music Dance and Arts Academy and My3 Dance Academy, the event featured children from various age groups.
Students from four different dance academies were selected for this event. They had been practicing for over six months, preparing each Keerthana.
“It took me nearly three months just to select the Keerthanas,” said Natya Guru Ramani Naidu. “Finding the right Pallavis and Charanams that suit classical dance wasn’t easy. But the effort was worth it. Every child danced beautifully today,” she explained.
Proud parents were happy to see their children shine on such a grand stage. “We have seen our daughter practice every day for months. Watching her perform today with so much confidence brought tears to our eyes,” said R. Balachandran, a parent of one of the performers.
