KUCHIPUDI


Devadasi system was the most prevalent in Andhra Pradesh.Hence we shouldn't doubt about the deeprooted origin of KUCHIPUDI dance form too.As i've already mentioned , Devadasies became victims of feudal abuse . Buddhism and Jainism flourished later on.Jainism was propagated by the Chalukyas. They exploited this dance forms and liberally patronized both classical and Margi style. MARGI is a style that is supposed to follow the text { Natyasastra } in toto. MARGI can also be termed as the GUIDING FACTOR. As a big controversy lies between the margi and desi style let us just take NATYASASTRA as a great work in DRAMATOLOGY.The Devadasies were degenerated to Rajanartakies or court dancers.
