classical dance styles in India. It originated in Tamil Nadu from the ritualistic song and dance recitals performed in the temples of ancient India for centuries. Roots of Bharatanatyam can be found in the ancient Devadasi tradition, where a devadasi performed song and dance as part of her ritual offerings to God. Rhythmic movements, vivid expressions, and indicative gestures are principal characteristics of Bharatanatyam.<\/span><br><br>\n\nIn history, dancers performed in temple settings with simple designs and minimal ornaments. As Bharatanatyam transitioned from temple rituals to stage performances, the costumes evolved to become more colourful, elaborate, and grand, with the introduction of stitched, embroidered costumes. Bright colours with silk fabrics paired with temple jewellery made of gold and featuring intricate designs were formulated. Decorative makeup and ghungroo&#8217;s were a part of this modern Bharatanatyam costume.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8887a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f8887a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Varieties of a Bharatnatyam Dress and its Significance\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb73a60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb73a60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1) The Designer of the dresses<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e9d2aa elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e9d2aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>Rukmini Devi Arundale, a legendary Bharatanatyam dancer, brought about revolutionary changes to the previously prejudiced and dejected form of Bharatanatyam as being \u2018the Dance of the Devadasis\u2019.

The different types of Bharatanatyam costumes are traditionally rich and filled with designs and motifs. Typically, these costumes are divided into traditional and modern costumes. \n\nTraditional Saree for Bharatanatyam\nThe traditional Bharatanatyam dress follows the way of draping the saree as the Devdasis did in ancient times. A silk saree with embroidered edges is draped to the knees over a tight-fitting, contrasting blouse. The pallu of the saree is draped across the shoulder and tied tightly across the waist of the saree. The bottom part of the saree is neatly pleated and tucked into the waist.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15f78e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"15f78e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bhartanatyam2-263x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-2262\" alt=\"bhartanatyam2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bhartanatyam2-263x300.png 263w, https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bhartanatyam2.png 588w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5964a2 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5964a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>b)<\/b> The Pre-stiched Saree for Bharatanatyam\nA modern Bharatanatyam dress consists of a pre-stiched saree or a readymade Bharatanatyam costume for convenient dressing.\n\nA typical Bharatanatyam costume for women consists of a silk saree with embroidered edges, divided into distinct parts that are stitched independently. These different parts, when worn together, form the entire Bharatanatyam dress. In a modern Bharatanatyam dress, a pant-like structure called a \u2018dhoti\u2019 is premade, which can be worn like a \u2018salwar\u2019, which in turn reduces the amount of time taken to dress up.\n\nA corresponding blouse, which is tight fitting and in a contrasting color, is worn with this ready-made type of Bharatanatyam costume. The saree\u2019s pallu covers the chest and is draped over the left shoulder, tied tightly across the waist.\n\nA wide flare fan, similar to the pleats of a traditional saree, is tied\/sewn to the salwar such that it is placed at the center of the dancer&#8217;s body. The pleats of this fan flare out when the dancer is in the \u2018Aramandi\u2019.\n\nThe fourth part of the readymade costume is draped around the posterior of the dancer and is secured to the waist of the dancer before covering it with the fan. A small fan is then attached to this part, which, when fastened at the back, is positioned exactly about the large fan.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1670a7 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d1670a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"603\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyam3.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2259\" alt=\"bharatnatyam3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyam3.png 603w, https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyam3-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df33645 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df33645\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3) The Jewelry\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b33f56 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b33f56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe jewelry used for Bharatanatyam is intricately designed in traditional patterns, adorned primarily by female dancers.
