| | Kuchipudi Dance |
 | | The tradition of Kuchipudi dance was passed down through generations of Brahmin families in Kuchipudi village and interacted with the temple dance traditions as well as the other drama traditions of South India. | | | Prior to this time, even as early as the 8th century, prototypes of the Kuchipudi dance drama centering on the life of Siva and other Hindu gods had been performed and was known as nattuva mela. | | | It is no wonder that Kuchipudi dance enjoys great popularity and is recognized as one of the foremost classical dance styles of India. |

| | Bharatnatyam - Depicting Radha waiting for Lord Krishna |
| | Originally, the Bharatnatyam dance was an exclusive forte of the temple dancers or Devadasis, whose sole purpose in life was to serve the temple deity. | | | Bharatnatyam is believed to be the oldest of all forms of classical dances in India, given the fact that it draws the most heavily from the ancient Indian texts of dance. | | | These young Devadasis were then taught the arts of music and dance, sacred and classical literature in Sanskrit, Tamil and Telegu and certain religious duties in the temple. |

| | Gotipua Dancers - I |
| | The boys dressed as girls began to dance in the temple precincts during festivals. | | | Panigrahi remarks that "the Gotipua dance appears to have originated in the reign of Prataparudradeva (A.D. 1497-1540) and gained popularity in the subsequent muslim period on account of the rigidity of the purdha system which led to the seclusion of women and made their presence scarce on the festive occasions. | | | For the first time, the temple dance came out of its home and began to be performed by these Gotipuas in public. |

| | The reconstruction of the sadir dance was undertaken by Westernized and Sanskritized Brahmins. | | | Its dance journey is both religious sacrament and divine conduit, resulting in a realization of the oneness of self and the cosmos. | | | Dedicated to God through temple ceremonies, the devadasis became constituents of the temple as brides and devotional servants to the deity. |

| | The temple sculptures portray not only gods and goddesses, but also everyday life -- including religious rituals, household duties and animals both real and mythical. | | | Impressive visual evidence of this civilization may still be found, however, in the exquisitely-sculpted Hindu, Buddhist and Jain temples built over a span of centuries starting in the third century B.C. Later Muslim and Hindu princes added magnificent forts, palaces, mosques or mausoleums. | | | The liveliest components of these sculptures are often the figures of celestial musicians and dancers, which preserved India's classical dance and music in stone for centuries. |
