Devdasis or temple dancers who were dedicated in service to the presiding deities used to perform Bharatanatyam in temples.   Mridangam, Veena, Flute, Violin and Talam are some of the instruments used in Bharatanatyam  performance.   Kathak is intermingled with the culture of North India. This classical dance form is associated with the recital art of storytelling. Kathak has been patronized in Banaras, Lucknow and Jaipur.   The story of Radha and Krishna is the predominant theme of Kathak. Such instruments as Tabla, Pakwaj, Harmonium, Sarengi and Talam are used in Kathak performances.   Heavy makeup and colourful costume are the most amazing facets of Kathakali. As it is a group performance, each dancer wears a different makeup as per the role or character.   The dancer playing a noble hero or god wears green makeup on the face, while the dance playing a demon smears his face in green with red marks on the cheeks. Chenda, Cymbals, and Maddalam are the instruments used in Kathakali shows.   Kuchipudi has evolved from the Bhagavatmela tradition and differed from other Indian classical dance forms by the use of speech. This classical dance of India owes its origin to the Telugu Brahmins in Kuchelapuram Village, who were known for their expertise in staging the mythological legends through dance, drama and music.   The Kuchipudi dance moves are faster than those of any other classical dance. It is performed to both the Carnatic music and the Hindustani Music.   The Sattriya dance form can be placed under 2 categories; Paurashik Bhangi, which is the masculine style and ‘Stri Bhangi’, which is the feminine style. Pat Silk saree is the most popular kind of saree used in this dance, which represents the locality through its various colourful motifs and designs.   There are various musical instruments used in this Sattriya dance, some of which include Khol (drum), Bahi (flute), Violin, Tanpura, Harmonium and Shankha (Conch Shell).   Odissi is the cultural pride of the state Orissa or Odisha. Nritya and Abhinaya are two most interesting highlights of Odissi.

There are two stories of the Lord Vishnu disguised as a Mohini. In one, he appears as Mohini to lure the asuras away from the amrita (nectar of immortality) obtained during the churning of the palazhi (ocean of milk and salt water).   In the second story Vishnu appears as Mohini to save Lord Shiva from the demon Bhasmasura. The costume includes white sari embroidered with bright golden brocade (known as kasavu) at the edges.   The Mohiniyattam dance follows the classical text of Hastha Lakshanadeepika, which has elaborate description of mudras (gestural expressions by the hand palm and fingers).   The vocal music of Mohiniyattam involves variations in rhythmic structure known as chollu. The lyrics are in Manipravalam, a mixture of Sanskrit and Malayalam.     GK Notes on Different States and their Folk Dances - Questions and Answers   Q: Changuis the dance of which state (a) Uttarkahnd and Andhra Pradesh (b) Punjab and Goa (c) Odissa and Andhra Pradesh (d) Mizoram and Tamil Nadu Ans: Odissa and Andhra Pradesh   Q: Bharatnatyam is a famous dance form from: (a) Goa (b) Punjab (c) Tamil Nadu (d) Mizoram Ans: Tamil Nadu   Q: Bhangra is a popular dance of: (a) Uttarkhand (b) Punjab (c) Assam (d) Manipur Ans: Punjab   Q: Name the ancient theatre originated in Kerala?
