Delhi-based Bharatnatyam dancer Vallabhi Chellam Annamalai delighted over 400 delegates at the inaugural event of the Gandhi-King-Mandela International Conference in South Africa with a unique performance on one of Mahatma Gandhi’s favourite bhajans.
“I’ve been instilled with the Gandhian values from a very young age,” Ms. Annamalai, the daughter of Alagan Annamalai, Director of the National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, said.
The conference, which was held last week in Pietermaritzburg, focussed on the issues that can be addressed using the principles of non-violence advocated by Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King.
