Kuchipudi dancers at Elephanta festival

Two years after Mumbai's worst terror attacks, one of the biggest events on its cultural calendar — the 21-year-old Elephanta festival — is back.

Taking the stage soon after public works and tourism minister Chhagan Bhujbal had declared it open on Saturday were well-known Kuchipudi exponents Dr Raja and Radha Reddy whose invocation of the divine couple Shiva Paravti left the audience in raptures.

With both their daughters Yamini and Bhavana also performing even as Dr Reddy's second wife and Radha Reddy's sister Kaushalya conducted on the natuvangam, the entire family was on stage.
