Bharat Natyam, the Indian Classical Dance from Tamil Nadu, a state in South India, has been one of the oldest and richest classical dance forms of India. Its antiquity is estimated at about 3,000 years, and is associated with a mythological and historical origin. It was originally known as Sadir-attam (court dance) and also Dãsiattam (performed by the daasis - the servants of God).
"Bharat Natyam is a symbol of beauty and aesthetic perfection. As a philosophy, it is a search of human soul for ideal. As a religion, it is the man's quest for the Supreme and the desire to unite with the Ultimate. As a science, it is to attain the perfection of body technique and corporal movement and as poetry, it is the symbol of rythmic lyricism."
