of many aspect of art. Although closely linked with local traditional
dance-drama, it was used mainly in Hindu religious ceremonies
.

39. Kathak
Kathak is the major dance style of northern India and combines
local folk elements with dance forms that developed in the courts of
the Mughal emperors and later Indian princes . Latter Kathak
assumed a distinct dance form due to the popularization of the
Radha Krishna legend and consequent emergence of an operatic
play known as 'Rasa Lila' which in turn was inspired by the song of
big poets like Surdas, Nandadas and Krishnadas with the advent of
the muslim rule.

40. Kathakali
Kathakali, from the state of Kerala in southwestern India, is a true
dance-drama. The Kathakali dancers act out the parts of different
characters in a play. They dress up in outsize costumes to give
themselves a larger-than-life appearance. They also wear mask like
face make-up, in colours that have a strong, symbolic meaning.
Kathakali performances are often held out doors and sometimes go
on all night.

41. Manipuri
Dance and music is a way of life for the Manipuris.
Legend has it that while searching for a suitable place to
hold his rasa (union) with Parvati, Lord Shiva came
across this place which was verdant, lush, secluded and
girdled by hills.

42. Orrissi
Orissi is a dance form from the state of Orissa, in eastern India. Sculptures
found in Orissa, dating from the 100's B.C., show dancers in distinctive
poses characteristic of the Orissi style. The style developed from musical
plays and was common in temples and village entertainments. Orissi
dances were first performed by women. Later, men dressed as women
performed them around temples.

43. Kuchipudi
The Kuchipudi dance drama came into existence in the 17th
century through the Bhakti cult in the small village of Kuchipudi
in Andhra Pradesh. Kuchipudi was once completely male
dominated, who performed the female parts as well.
