  ever full dance creation highlighting the Goddess of wealth and auspicious
 ness\, Lakshmi. It was also the first operatic dance creation of Chitravin
 a Ravikiran and was initiated by the Cleaveland Tyagaraja Festival in 1994
 .  However\, even  though Ravikiran finished  composing the music and l
 yrics within 4 weeks for this mammoth 3 hour\, 5 episode production emplo
 ying 4 languages (Tamil\, Telugu\, Sanskri and Hindi) and as many as 80
  ragas\, this magnum opus was premiered in Toronto and Cleveland only in 
 early 1997 due to operational reasons. Lakshmi Prabhavam’s sell out sho
 w in Cleveland resulted in an encore the very next week\, after which the p
 roduction toured extensively\, enthralling audiences in 20-25 sell out sh
 ows in major venues in Chicago\, Pittsburgh\, Miami\, San Francisco Bay Ar
 ea and other cities.\n\n\n\nThis program showcases 2 very interesting stor
