In seventies Yakshagan viewers are crazy about Chittani.His, wave is so powerful that his sweeping popularity remained for decades His thumbing popularity gained during Amruteshwari mela under Hande Yajaman and Uppoor Bhagawat leadership During that period famous traditional Mela become commercially weak and closed in 1986.Touring, melas of tenkutittu stopped coming to uttara Kannada district due to poor box-office collection.Tenkutittu, supreme artists influence on Badagu minimised Chittani is badagu.. Badagu is Chittani.... atmosphere spread over Badagu His Basmasoor, Maghadh, Kavarv, kansa all negative hero role become favorite of yakshagan fans.In, Badagu only Shambu Hegde and Gode Narayan Hegde are successful in maintaining their own image and identity. Shambu Hegde become more popular in Dakshina Kannada than in uttara Kannada district world has witnessed Maicaljakson, India know Kamal Hassan, Prabudev as great dancers But Chittani is such a dancer who is un known to rest of the world other than yakshagan is above all the classical or Western dancer No dancer has got such a long period of stage show record on daily basis.At, the age of eighty five he is on the stage. When he became unconscious an attempt made to bring him back to normalcy in such circumstances they played yakshagan padya of Uppoor, Navada Dhareshwar and Kolgi as last hope.This, is a example how he is attached to yakshagan There is no substitute for Chittani and Gharana, In this video for his expression, gattu kuneet.. no words He is like Everest.. some time ocean.... and Jwalamukhi.He, is Yugapuruh Always here in the hearts of yaksha fans
