History of Bharatanatyam, an Indian dance. Over two centuries Bharatanatyam has evolved from a highly codified style to one affording the maximum freedom to innovate. No other form has traversed such a long distance without losing its original content and yet being a sparkling example of creative evolution in terms of material, music, costume, etc. Bharatanatyam today ranks as a major cultural symbol of India.
