--------------Who created Bharatanatyam? ----------
Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest and most popular forms of classical dance that originated in Tanjore district in Tamil Nadu in South India. The origin of this dance can be traced to the sage Bharata Muni’s Natyasastra. This dance used to be taught by Nattuvanars (dance gurus/teachers) and was originally practiced by a group of temple dancers called the Devadasis who danced regularly during important festivals, ceremonies, and also at the time of worship in temples. Bharatanatyam declined under the British colonial rule in India but was later revived by Rukimini Devi Arundale and E. Krishna Iyer. Both of them were dancers as well as activists.
