Dances of India



The cultural richness of India is reflected in her numerous classical & folk dances.
So many have asked me why dance is so important in the Indian culture?
Why there are always dances and music in the Indian movies??

In India, dance expresses devotion, prayer, happiness, sorrow,
stories.. the list goes on.
Shown on the top left of the picture above is Natraj or the dancing Siva.
Siva is one of the most prominent gods in Hindu religion and he is also
pictured as the the dancer of creation, lord of joy and sorrow.
