By a happy coincidence, Poornima Ashok, a disciple of Radha Sridhar, Dhananjayan, and Kalanidhi Narayanan, also chose to present in Bharatanatyam excerpt from her solo based on Rama and Sita's first meeting. Titled Madhur Milan, it had melodious and evergreen chaupais of Tulasidas. Describing the Vasantritu, Spring to the melodious singing by late JahnaviJayaprakash, Poornima enacted the joyous atmosphere, Rama and Lakshmana's walking through the garden, Sita's going to Goddess Gauri'sdarshan and accidently Rama and her looking at each other, Tulasidas describing it "... vilokiPrabhu .. Kankan kinkininupoordhunisunirahatlakhansaraavat Rama hridayguni..chitavanchakitkaharahegayenrupakishoranjagavilokankamalasrutashreni..." Poornima with her mobile visage registered the delicate and subtlest emotions reflecting the poetry of Tulasidas with consummate artistry.

A seasoned exponent with considerable experience and sound training Poornima explores various facets of themes and musical phases in Bharatanatyam. She has attempted to tell in Bharatanatyam the origin of Natyasastra, how from four Vedas various elements have been taken by Brahma and the fifth Pancham Veda as Natyasastra is known was composed. Using various nrittaadavu sequences and especially composed taniavartanams by KiranSubramanyam, a versatile Bharatanatyam exponent and mridanga expert, Poornima's choreographic work indeed stands out for its independent novel approach.

What at times sounded like cascades of mridangabols, mnemonic syllables used as taniavartanam for Bharatanatyam, generated heavy sound texture to which to execute footwork indeed is a challenge. It posed problem for someone like me. But as explained by the artiste later on, the taniavartanams were not meant for matching mnemonics, but only as accompanying music. The concluding movements were scintillating.

Earlier in the beginning, Poornima presented 'BhoShambho' to Balamuralikrishna's music weaving in episodes of Bhagirath requesting Ganga to descend upon earth, its being received in jata of Lord Shiva, and depicted iconic images of the Lord with description of Trinayana, Chandrachooda, Karunamurte, VibhutidharanaVibho, Uma Mahesh, and finally singing and praying, the devotee is lost in seeing the Lord with closed eyes. Poornima danced it intensely with devotional mood.
