Last night they treated us to a beautiful performance of Bharata Natyam and Kuchipudi Dance. The former being indigenous to Tamil Nadu and the latter from Andhra Pradesh, the state that I'm currently in. The pictures I took are from the invocation they did in which they invoked the god Ganesha, who is known for being a remover of obstacles among other things.
Later on they did a dance in which they narrated parts of the
Ramayana, one of the two important Indian epics, and that was my favorite part of their performance. I also was very impressed by the coordination between the dancers and the musicians because I know that it is very difficult for the two to flow so well together.
