Bharatnatyam or Sandhir Attam is a classical dance form primarily from South India. This choreography includes the three arts of Bhavam, Ragam and Talam. 'Bha' has been taken from Bhavam and 'Ra' from Ragam and 'Ta' has been taken from Talam. That is why the name Bharatnatyam has come into existence. It is based on Bharat Muni's Natya Shastra (which dates back to 400 BC). At present this dance style is mainly practiced by women. The inspiration for this dance style comes from the ancient temple sculptures of Chidambaram.
