A history of Bharatanatyam, an Indian dance. Over two centuries
Bharatanatyam has evolved from a highly codified style to one affording
the maximum freedom to innovate. No other form has traversed such
a long distance without losing its original content and yet being
a sparkling example of creative evolution in terms of material,
music, costume, etc. Bharatanatyam today ranks as a major cultural
symbol of India.
