Gummana Kareyadire. composed by Purandara Dasa choreographed by Guru smt. Dr. Shobha Shashikumar.

Gummana Kareyadire is a beautiful Kannada composition that portrays the playful and affectionate relationship between Yashoda and young Krishna. When Krishna becomes mischievous, Yashoda playfully threatens to call Gumma—a frightening figure—to take him away. Through charming expressions and playful conversation, the song beautifully brings out Krishna’s innocence, Yashoda’s motherly affection, and the delightful mischief of childhood. The piece gives the dancer a wonderful opportunity to portray hasya, vatsalya, and playful abhinaya, bringing the adorable world of Yashoda and Krishna to life.
