Bharatnatyam is a classical dance from Tamil Nadu in South India. It is also known as art of temple dances. NatyaShastra is the main book written about the dancing style of Bharatnatyam. Bharatnatyam works on the lines of NatyaShastra.
It is considered to be the fire - dance, depicting the mystic presence of the fire God in the human body. Thus a Bharatnatyam dancer depicts the movements of a dancing flame. Contemporary Bharatnatyam is rarely practiced as Natya Yoga, a sacred Hindu meditational tradition.
