What Is Bharatanatyam?

Bharatanatyam is one of the most cherished and the most
popular of classical Indian dance-forms, not only within the country but also
outside it. It is considered the epitome of Indian cultural expression. Lately,
Bharatanatyam is also the focus of criticism. It is damned as archaic and
irrelevant to the modern times, especially by those who frown on its
predominant nayika-nayaka theme.
