Background
The contemporary Yakshagana
prasangas
became monotonous, leading to tiring out of the mind. This made Mr.Kondadakuli,
founder of the organisation, to build a Mela. The vision
in his mind was clear, the Mela would only perform the diverse and evergreen
Hindu mythological prasangas. Thus formed the charitable trust Purnachandra
Yakshakala Prathisthana Kondadakuli (R) Kumbhashi.
His Holiness Sri Sri
Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swamiji of Sri Ramachandrapura Mata has inagurated
the Prathisthana and blessed the organisation with Suvarna Manthrakshatha.
Since inception, the organisation is heading in the direction of the founder's
vision with Rajaashraya and support from Sri Mata, which has a tradition
of Raja Sanyasa.
An
Experiment
The art also should get
refined with time, an experiment was done in this drection by the organisation.
Traditionally the Yakshagana is performed from dusk to dawn. To bring this
period down the prolonged prasangas were cut short retaining the crux and
the significant parts of the prasanga without causing any damage to the
storyline and moral values of the prasanga. The advantages by this experiment
include Time saving, interesting plots, reduced expenditure among others.
This novel innovation
got a huge support and acceptance from Yakshagana rasikas all over India.
From the past three years the organisation has been performing this art
successfully in Karnataka, Kerala, Mumbai and at other places.
