Bharathanatyam

pongalfest bharatanatyam

A beautifully breath-taking form of classical Tamil dance. Originating from the temples of Tamil Nadu, women dress up in vibrant clothes and carry out gracious moves on-stage, as if they were statues crafted by an artist. It is considered a fire dance, a representation of the fire in our bodies, so the movement of the dancers will mimic the dynamics of a fire flame. It is the most popular dance form in Southern India due to the visual pleasure it delivers to everyone watching. Not to miss.
