Bharatnatyam

Bharatanatyam is one of India’s oldest classical dance forms, originating in the temples of Tamil Nadu. It is distinguished by its fixed upper torso, rhythmic footwork (talam), dynamic knee-bent posture (aramandi), and intricate facial expressions (abhinaya) paired with symbolic hand gestures (mudras). Traditionally performed to Carnatic music, it serves as a visual storytelling art that brings spiritual and mythological themes to life.
