About this listen
Narrated by Shantha :
Bharatanatyam costumes are more than just outfits—they bring the dance to life! Inspired by Tamil bridal wear, they are designed for graceful movement and elegance.
Dancers wear vibrant silk, dazzling jewelry, and bold make-up to highlight expressions and emotions. Every piece, from the shimmering waist belt to jingling anklets, adds beauty and rhythm to the performance.
The Natya Shastra, an ancient dance text, guides how costumes and stages are prepared with special rituals and traditions. Henna-stained feet, flower-adorned hair, and colorful props make the storytelling even more magical.
Today, Bharatanatyam costumes blend tradition with modern comfort, ensuring dancers feel both regal and free to move.
Through color, fabric, and artistry, these costumes turn every performance into a breathtaking visual experience!
