| "Mythology
and consequently the dance repertoire, abounds with tales of Shiva and his
progeny that have been told and retold countless times over. But
the treatment of the legends in 'Shiva-Sakthi-Vel' conveyed a sensitivity
that belied this familiarity. Presented by the Dhananjayans at Bharat
Kalachar, it marked a defining moment in the dance field where a Guru gave
his students the limelight, a phenomenon that seldom happens. And
this was not all. The production stood out for its crisp choreography,
expert orchestration and superb dancing. Within the confines of the
traditional genre, Shanta and V P Dhananjayan had carved out a spectacular
work."
