Bharathanatyam is a form of Indian classical dance that originated in the Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu in South India. A highly specialised science with a traditional background and rigid codes and conventions, Bharatanatyam skillfully embodies the three primary ingredients of dancing: bhava or mood, raga or music and melody and tala or timing with 64 principles of coordinated hand, foot, face and body movements which are performed to the accompaniment of dance syllables.
