HISTORY : Bharathanatyam has special mention in two important Tamil works - SILAPPADIKARAM and MANIMEKHALAI of the SANGAM age. All the sculptures show the importance of the "ARDHAMANDALAI " (out_turned knees) which is the position common to Bharathanatyam as well as all the Indian Classical Dances from Rajasthan to Ghokarnam and Gujarat to Assam. The sculptures can be traced back to 5TH B.C.This is a dance form which cannot be adequately done by anyone without reverence for technique and for spiritual life.It lifts one from temporal to eternal values.
