    I miss Bharatnatyam so much. I studied it as a little girl when I went to school in India. It is so beautiful, and I always felt that it is a form of prayer. It is so awesome to see... I remember doing a different variant of the Alarippu but this one is spectacular. Namaste from Canada!

      It is a form of prayer😊 you are right.

      Its origin is temple dance. It is a form of prayer. Hindu prayer consists of dance, music, chants, yoga, idol worship, fire rituals and good karma. People are free to pick whatever floats their boat.

    "India is another world". I discovered the culture and religion just over a year ago. I'm a 70 year old Brit - left it a bit late to learn, but watching Indian Raga and Sri Devi Nrithyalaya fills a gap l wasn't aware of. Many thanks to all for your dedication ❤🎉

    I end up watching this at least once a day! If a part of going to the temple and darshan is to 'see' the Divine and remember, this dance too is that. Each aspect of the Divine and His/Her vahana vividly brings that darshan to the mind! Watching this is like a mental puja.
    May She whose Grace and Blessings gives a desire, skills and accomplishments in all arts keep blessing you!
