Meenakshi Memudam by Anuradha Vikranth

Meenakshi Memudam Dehi Composition of Sri Muthu swamy Deekshitar Choreography : Guru Dr Padmasubrahmanyam Vocal : Dr Gayatri Kannan Raga : Purvikalyani Tala: Adi This composition is in praise of the beautiful Goddess Meenakshi of Madurai. In the Sanchari for the line "Marakatachaye" we can see how after 50 years of mughal invasion on Madurai, prince Kumara Kampanna of the then Vijayanagar empire saved Madurai from the enemies, demolishes the false wall built by the people of Madurai only to discover the idol of goddess Meenakshi which had sandalwood adorning her just as though it was applied freshly even after 50 years.
