Description: As a young Manjamma lay unconscious after a suicide attempt, she could not have imagined that one day she would receive a National Award from the President of India. As a young boy, Manjunath discovered that he felt more like a woman, which led to him being ostracized and mocked. The transformation into Manjamma, a performer of the Jogathi nritya, was a testimony to her grit and determination.
