Mantapa 1000 – Krishna Mohan Photography

After last two appetizers of Mohiniyattam & Kathakali let us come to the main course. Here are the photos of 1000th one-act show of Mantapa Prabhakara Upadhya for which the celebration was held on 2nd April at Alva’s.

It was a grand day of celebration with an array of cultural extravaganza brimming with skills, mastery and punctuality in timing which was only possible under the able leadership of Dr. Mohan Alva.

As mentioned in the beginning of the Mantapa’s performance by his mentor Shatavadhani R. Ganesh who mooted the concept of “solo” Yakshagana, 1000th performance will be no different from the earlier 999, but the significance we give to these numbers that makes 1000th and unique event.

Venu Visarjana was the subject of 1000th performance at Moodu Venu Pura (Sanskrit name for Moodabidri). It was loosely based on Pu.Thi. Narasimhachar’s Gokula Nirgamana which has Krishna’s separation from Radha as its theme and reaches spiritual heights of viraha bhava.

Words are not sufficient to explain this great performance of Mantapa Prabhakara Upadhya. So I will allow my photos to speak for themselves.

My good friend G.N Ashokvardhana has written a detailed article at his blog ????????? ???????? ?????? ?????? on the whole days celebration.

Hi,

Great story. I have a question, though. How do you resize your photos? Given that they are sharp at full size, many of look a little blurry.

The best (and slowest) way to resize is to do it in steps: first resize to 50% and add unsharp masking. Repeat. Repeat until you

Thank you DorkStar, for visiting my website and taking time to comment.

I use light room and photo shop to re size my photos. All my photos are resized tp 1000 pixels in one shot and unsharp mask applied. I haven’t tried your method. I will surely try it and will let you know. I don’t know how I can automate that in Lightroom but surely can use Photoshop to do it by actions.Thanks and keep visiting my website
