I'm in India guys! It's so exciting (and crazy hot) :) All I do is stuff my face all day long and shop with Natasha. And read my books obviously. So to put the stuff I've been talking about into a little context, I tortured both Natasha and myself (mainly her) to have a mini photoshoot. So here is one example of mudra usage in a pose. (Side note: This was done on the balcony of the house whilst we were racing against the setting sun. It is very rough.)
So here, one hand is holding the alapadmam murdra, and the other is depicting bangles being put on the hand. Together, they create decorative pose that is also showing a motion. This is only one of hundreds of uses of the alapadmam mudra, which is used in both nritta and abhinaya. So next post, I will use another subpar picture to show one of the Ashtanayika. Off to explore some temple architecture!
