Descriere

Description Bharatanatyam, one of the more popular classical dance forms, is a composite art. Widely practised in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, it is at once a sensual and divine experience. It was performed by dancers who were called devadasis in the temples as an integral part of the religious rituals.
