== Yellamanata and Other Stories ==<br />
Mudbi leads the team in performing [[Renuka|Yellammana]] padas with traditional instruments such as the chowdki and the [[Shruti]], sometimes in the morning at Bangalore Cubbon Park.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pailoor |first=Anitha |title=Singing their way into hearts |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/singing-their-way-hearts-700180.html |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref> Shilpa's efforts extend to reviewing and preserving the "Chowdki" and "shruti", essential instruments intertwined with the narratives of Yellamma, making her a key force in reviving these traditions. As a trained filmmaker, she explores the roots of this music, connecting it with North Karnataka's cultural fabric.<br />
<br />
These Bengalureans are trying to save Chowdki, a percussion instrument which was once prevalent in the belt of north Karnataka, [[Maharashtra]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. According to folklore, it has been around for at least 2,500 years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bureau |first=Bangalore Mirror |last2= |last3= |first3= |title=Strings of the past |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/sunday-read/strings-of-the-past/articleshow/62676242.cms |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=Bangalore Mirror |language=en}}</ref><br />
