Just want to say.....I am lecturing a lot more based on my research and published books! The book WOMEN OF PRIDE - the Devadasi heritage is such an eye opener to audiences....
Sure it is quite a challenge to speak to diverse audiences, and more so when I illustrate with old photos AND dance some pieces from the essential repertoire of the bygone era.

Devadasi, raja dais or Kutcher desi - devadasis have acquired a variety of definitions and roles over the years. Women of Pride studies, in depth, the devadasi tradition and its transformation into a living cultural phenomenon in the context of Hindu tradition. The book brings into focus the activities and identities of the devadasis and examines the functions and forms of the devadasi tradition.
The changing face of the tradition has been authenticated and given a voice by the author by featuring some of the most prominent devadasis of our times. The book also examines the devadasi reform movement in a political, religious, and social context.
