In 1953, Subramanyam, Chandramohan, teaches Kuchipudi to his daughter Pournami, Trisha Krishnan, as part of a long-held family tradition. He recounts the ancient legend of a woman in 1507 who danced inside the temple for seven days and nights to beg Lord Siva for rain during a devastating drought. Her sacrifice brought rain, and since then, every twelve years, a girl from her lineage performs the ritual dance in the temple. Pournami’s mother performed this dance in 1951, and Pournami is expected to follow in her footsteps.
