Parimala Ravindra - rangapravesham

In general, it is a perception that people staying abroad have adapted the foreign culture and lifestyle in their day-to-day activities leaving behind the glorious tradition and culture of our motherland. That is because most of time, people don't find time for anything else due to their hectic work schedules, lack of adequate resources, encouraging atmosphere to pursue beyond their routine and so on. But here is an exception in the form of Parimala who hails from Bangalore but now settled in USA We happened to witness her astonishing 'rangapravesham' performance last Friday at ADA Rangamandhira, Bangalore.
