Tigerdance pili nalike at Uday Kumar / Pili masters house

Uday Kumar, or ‘pili master’ as he is addressed fondly by all the troupes of pilis in the town, is someone whose house all the troupes in the vicinity head to once they have performed at the temple.
For he has nurtured and guided all the pilis, from the youngest to the oldest, corrected their moves, taught them new flips and perfected their jumps and honoured all of them with each year with medals.
"There are people who shower them with money these days at times. Yet if there is one house they head to dance after the temple, it is ours, for here they say they get the respect and honour that an artist deserves," Uday Master says in all humility and pride.
Was truly an unforgettable experience for me as to understand the beauty and the culture and the efforts that go into getting these troupes ready is just unimaginable.
