No more messy spills! No more stained costumes! The Nyra Alta Pen is here. It's a modern solution for dancers. It's made by Shanthi Tailors.

This pen makes it easy to add the traditional red color of Alta. It's as easy to use as a marker.

Why Dancers Love Nyra:

  • Zero Spills: The felt tip makes sure the dye goes where you want it. It goes on your hands and feet (Paravani). It will never get on your costume!

  • Precision Definition: The fine tip helps you make sharp, clean lines. It's great for toes and fingers. Liquid alta can't do that!

  • Instant Dry Formula: It dries fast! You can get dressed right away. No smudging!

  • Sweat-Resistant: It stays bright while you dance. Even under hot stage lights! Less smudge!

Pack Contains: 3 x Red Alta Marker Pens. Perfect for Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Odissi, and Mohiniyattam.

  1. Clean: Make sure your hands and feet are dry. Don't use lotion.
  2. Outline: Use the fine tip to draw the outside of your Paravani (foot decoration).

  3. Fill: Use the side of the marker to fill in the circle.

  4. Dry: Wait 30 seconds. Rinse in water and tap off extra water with a tissue or cloth. Don't wipe!

    Note: This is a skin-safe dye. It's an alternative to liquid Alta/Mahawar.

    Anything on your hand will smudge. It needs to wash off easily.

  5. There is nothing called SMUDGE FREE ALTA

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Red Altha Pen ensure precision in applying Altha for Bharatanatyam, especially around the Aramandi position?

A: The Red Altha Pen, unlike traditional methods, allows for a controlled and precise application of Altha. This is crucial for highlighting the Angikam (body movements) in Bharatanatyam, particularly the lines created by the Aramandi, ensuring the dancer's footwork and hand gestures are accentuated with clarity.

Q: Is the Red Altha Pen suitable for a dancer preparing for their Arangetram, considering the long duration of the performance?

A: Yes, the Red Altha Pen is ideal for Arangetram preparations. Its long-lasting formula ensures that the Altha remains vibrant throughout the entire performance. The pen's application prevents smudging, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the dancer's makeup even under bright stage lights and extensive movement.

Q: Can the Red Altha Pen be used on other parts of the body besides the feet and hands, and are there any precautions to take?

A: While primarily designed for feet and hands, the Red Altha Pen can be used on other areas where Altha is traditionally applied in Bharatanatyam, such as outlining the fingers. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Perform a patch test on a small area to check for any allergic reactions before applying extensively, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes.

Q: How does the Red Alta Pen compare to traditional liquid Altha in terms of application and longevity for a Bharatanatyam performance?

A: The Red Alta Pen offers superior control and precision compared to traditional liquid Altha. It eliminates the risk of spills and uneven application, which is common with liquids. The pen's formula is designed for enhanced longevity, resisting fading and smudging even during rigorous dance sequences, providing a cleaner and more consistent look throughout a Bharatanatyam performance.
