Bharatnatyam is a classical dance form of India having its roots in the state of Tamil Nadu. Its a very interesting mixture of elaborate gestures (Mridu Angaharas), sentiments (Rasas), emotions (Bhavas), actions (Kriyas) and costume (Sringara).
I have always been fascinated by the classical dance forms of India and never miss a chance to see one. Allow me to take you to one such beautiful performance by Smt Bragha Bessell of Chennai.
Smt Bragha Bessell is senior disciple of Padma Shri Adyar K Lakshman and Smt Kalanidhi Narayanan. She is recipient of several awards and has performed at many venues both in India and abroad. She specializes in the 'Abhinaya' or acting part of Bharatnatyam and has earned several accolades for her style.
Here is a small glimpse of a two hour performance she gave at the Pune University last week.
Hope you like the pictures.
