Over time, Bharatanatyam moved from temples to the courts of kings, and then to theaters, but has retained its characteristic devotional component, expression of human emotions, and stylized storytelling. It was originally called Sadir, or Dasiyattam, and was traditionally performed by the Devadasi community.
Bharatanatyam is one of the most popular and widely practiced classical dance styles of India, with origins in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu, and sculptural evidence dating back nearly 3000 years.
