		Varnam is an important component of Bharathanatyam that ageless and exquisite dance form of India.
		True to its name, 'Varnam' lends colour, variety and verve to the dance recital and serves as a perfect yardstick to judge the quality of the dance and the competence of the dancer.
		Varnam - the sum & substance is an ideal learning tool that demonstrates how technology can serve as an effective vehicle to present the nuances of Bharathanatyam.

		It was an experience to remember: one was transported to a different era with the ambience created by the big, airy hall with stained glass fan-lights, chandeliers, rasikas squatting on the floor within a few feet of the performers, and the distribution of 'pori urundai', a snack made of puffed rice and jaggery.
		The varnam set in Rupaka talam, is attributed to Ponniah Pillai, one of the four brothers, and is dedicated to Shiva, referred to as Tyagesha, the deity of the Thiruvarur temple.
		Varnam as is seen today seems to have retained the format except for the shorter length and the faster pace of the theermanams, or pure dance passages, then.

	Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose - Articles
		The varnam traditionally performed in music concerts is usually a Tana varnam, with fewer lyrics and generally a faster tempo, while the varnam in dance concerts is usually a Pada varnam with more lyrics suitable for elaborating the abhinaya and sung in a more leisurely pace essential to bringing out the depth of emotions.
		The varnam is the continuum which gives ever-expanding room to the dancer to delight in her self-fulfillment, by providing the fullest scope to her own creativity as well as to the tradition of the art.’ No traditional solo recital is therefore complete without the varnam.
		In the varnam format, when the dancer describes or portrays the anguish of a grief-stricken heroine in the first line of the Pallavi, she/he has to switch moods instantaneously to project the joy of rhythm through the jathi that follows.

		The varnam is the longest and most important piece in a Bharatanatyam recital, which tests the skill of a dancer.

		On May 14, at the Mylapore Fine Arts Hall, 10 students were selected to perform the varnam at an event organised by ABHAI to felicitate the 'Kalaimamani' awardees of this year, from the dance fraternity.

	Review - Memorable masterpieces - V V Ramani
		This varnam belongs to an oral tradition of the devadasis’ kutcheri atta, danced to please the patrons.
		The elaborate varnam was done with exquisite abhinaya and the jathis were added on only to add momentum to the long piece.
		This variety of expression that she is able to bring to each line in the varnam is like an encyclopedia for young dancers to refer to.

	Articles - ARANGETRAM - A BEGINNING OR THE END? by Sapna Rangaswamy, Baroda
		Varnam is the central and most elaborate number in a Bharatanatyam performance.
		In the Varnam, the yearning of the Nayika is described.
		Since varnam is comparatively long and elaborate, many gurus have abbreviated it and composed it in shorter duration of about thirty minutes.

	The Hindu : 'Mohamana' epitomising varnam as an event
		She spoke of her training under Nandini Ramani that had instilled in her a feel for `auchitya' (appropriateness of whatever was presented in Bharatanatyam to the context.), and of the reverence in which the Tyagesa cult was held.
		The nervousness, which the dancer confessed to in her opening remarks, could only be felt after each segment of the varnam, in the constant adjustment of the pallu, which was perfectly in position.
		For the person who does not see beyond its external form, the varnam is just glossy technique, while for one who goes into the depths of its background, the varnam is ever relevant, transcending the limits of time.

	The Hindu : Exploring the nuances
		The two evening sessions, which will include performances and discussions of the varnam, are to be held at Amethyst, Sundara Mahal in Jeypore Colony (off Lloyd's Road) at 6 p.m.
		The focus will be on the interpretation of the varnam by the legendary Balasaraswathi and guru Kittappa Pillai, who developed distinct styles of their own.
		The exploration session is to look at notions of transcendental (alaoukika) state of a varnam, taste (rasikatva), aesthetic susceptibility (sahrdayatva), power of visualisation (pratibha), poetic culture (kavyanusilana), contemplative habit (bhavana) and a capacity for identification (tanmayibhavana).

		The varnam Inta chalamu is notated with a dns ris in the anupallavi.
		By far, my favorite prayoga in the varnam is in the 2nd chitta swaram x where we have : npd N dp - which sums up all the attributes of N.
		Similarly, the Sampradaya Pradarshini of Subbarama Dikshitar notates it only as D N S R. Lalita Ramakrishna in her book "The Varnam" makes this point about the 2 DNSR's in the same Avartanam of the anupallavi but says that it is mostly out of vogue now.
