History :
Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest classical dances of India.

It follows the rules of the Natya Shastra , which is an ancient Indian treatise on the performing arts, encompassing theatre, dance and music, written between 200 BC and 200 AD.
Origin :
Bharatanatyam originated in the Tanjore district of Tamil Nadu and is regarded as the mother of many other classical dance forms of India.
First it was initiated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and eventually flourished in South India.
It is the most widely practiced of Indian classical dances in south India, and has it's origin in Tamil Nadu.
The term Bharatnatyam was introduced in the mid thirties by
