Ardhanareeshwara ashtakam

that was choreographed by Leela Samson. What was even more interesting and caught fans’ attention was that Aditi performed the steps to the sound of flowing water.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” .
While I was recording a teermanam for my guru Leela Samson's birthday, I suddenly turned off the music. The sound of the water flowing reminded me of this Ardhanareeshwara ashtakam, which was choreographed by her. Flowing water, flowing movement and gender fluidity - the philosophy of Ardhanareeshwara. While I’m making quite a mess of her stunning choreography, going back to something I’ve done since I was five, feels as natural as breathing,” said the note accompanying the video. The video has since won over many fans as they appreciate Aditi’s performance.
