    Hemalatha to make another attempt to break record

    Thrissur: Noted Mohiniyattam dancer Kalamandalam Hemalatha would make another attempt to break the Guinness world
    record in Mohiniyattam by performing continously for 120 hours or more. Hemalatha has over 20 years of experience in performing arts, the organising committee general convener M C Thaikad said. She had performed dances in India and abroad and brought laurels to the Kerala Kalamandalam and recogition to the temple arts of Kerala.

    A fellow in 'Mohiniyattam' from the union ministry of human resource development, Hemalatha told pti here today that her performance would begin on the late evening on Sept 20 at the K T Muhammad Smaraka Theatre of the Kerala Nadaka Sangeetha Academy here.

    The danseuse had made an earlier attempted set a new new record in the Mohiniyattam dance performance on June 6 this year aiming to dance continiously for 12 hours, but was forced to stop after 64 hours. She said she had developed some 'uneasiness' following diet restrictions.

    She said she was now following a diet perscribed by expert dieticians and was confident of attaining her feet. The dancer said her main objective was to break the existing record of performing Mohiniyattam for 108 hours continusly attained by Dr
    Vattikotta Yadagiri Acharya of Hyderabad in 2008.

    Seminars on 'Mohiniyattam-Development and Crisis' and 'Koodiyattam's contemporary relevance' would be held from Sept 20 to 26, Thaikad added. Pti
