The jewelry worn by these dancers has symbolic and spiritual significance, often reflecting their role as servants of the\u00a0 deity\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ornaments for Bharatanatyam were inspired by traditional South Indian temple jewelry, which was crafted to replicate the kind of ornaments that the idols of the deities wore in the temple.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the early period when Bharatanatyam was performed exclusively in temples, the jewelry was simple and carried deep cultural and religious significance. It was often made with gold and inlaid with semi-precious stones and pearls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the royal patronage, the jewelry became heavier and more ornate, often made entirely of gold and embedded with precious gemstones such as rubies, diamonds and emeralds. However, this grand trend saw a decline during the colonial period with the emergence of Christianity. Fewer people crafted and wore such heavy and expensive jewelry.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern-day Bharatanatyam jewelry is made up of lighter and more affordable materials which have room for customization and creativity. Gold-plated jewelry and costume jewelry made of more affordable materials is often used, which is lighter in weight and modern in style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\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=\"290\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyamjwellery1-290x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-3407\" alt=\"Gold-plated jewelry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyamjwellery1-290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/www.enatyam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/bharatnatyamjwellery1.png 756w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>\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-f0357ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f0357ef\" 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<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1) The Founder of the Costume and Bharatanatyam Ornaments<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2636709 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2636709\" 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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rukmini Devi Arundale, a legendary Bharatanatyam dancer, conceptualized the various costumes that are worn by Bharatanatyam dancers today and designed Bharatanatyam jewelry that complimented these costumes and was traditional as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\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-e597f82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e597f82\" 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<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2) Different Varieties of Bharatanatyam Jewelry<\/h3>\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<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tallaisaamana<\/span><\/i><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most distinctive pieces of Bharatanatyam jewelry is the \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tallaisamana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019, a three-part decorative piece with a circular bindi attached to the central part, which lands right over the dancer&#8217;s forehead.
