Digital Transformation of Devarattam
This application, developed as part of my "Digital Revolution of Devarattam" project, is dedicated to several esteemed individuals: Kalaimamani Mr. M. Kumararaman (retired teacher), Kalaimamani Mr. M. Kannan Kumar, and Kalaimamani Mr. K. Nellai Manikandan from Zamin Kodangipatti, recipients of the KALAIMAMANI, KALAIMANI, and Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar awards, respectively. My gratitude also extends to my Guru, Mr. E. Rajakamulu, and the cherished legends of Devarattam.
The primary aim of this app is to promote Devarattam and its accomplished artists. The app provides detailed information about Devarattam and its awardees. Devarattam is a traditional folk dance of Tamil Nadu, historically and currently performed by the Rajakambalathu Nayakkar community. The dance incorporates 32 fundamental steps, with variations expanding the repertoire to 72 or more.
Devarattam dancers gracefully perform, each holding a kerchief and wearing salangai (ankle bells) while accompanying themselves with the Deva Thunthumi, a traditional musical instrument.
