Bharatanatyam | Nrityabaran | Abaran Timeless Jewellery

Bharatanatyam is one of the earliest and most well-known types of traditional dancing that started in Tanjore region in Tamil Nadu in Southern India.
According to the Hindu tradition,the name of the dance form was derived by joining two words, ‘Bharata’ and Natyam’ where ‘Natyam in Sanskrit means dance and ‘Bharata’ is a mnemonic comprising ‘bha’, ‘ra’ and ‘ta’ which respectively means ‘bhava’ that is emotion and feelings; ‘raga’ that is melody; and ‘tala’ that is rhythm. Thus, traditionally the word refers to a dance form where bhava, raga and tala are expressed.
The Natya Shastra by Bharata Muni and Abhinaya Darpana (Mirror of Gesture) by Nandikeshvara are considered to be the original sources of Bharatanatyam.
It has flourished in the temples and courts of southern India since ancient times.This dance form is a pure amalgam of expressions,music,beat and rhythm.
Traditional jewellery used during the Bharatanatyam dancing is famous as Bharatanatyam Temple Jewellery .Artisans created these genuine works of art for hundreds of years and even today people revere and desire temple jewellery for its unique beauty and workmanship.
