Bharatanatyam, a classical dance from Tamil Nadu, traditionally follows the Dwibhanga posture, which consists of two bends in the body. This posture ensures structured movements, enabling dancers to create symmetrical and graceful poses. Bharatanatyam is deeply rooted in temple traditions and was historically performed as a form of devotion. It incorporates intricate hand gestures (mudras), rhythmic footwork and dramatic expressions (abhinaya) to narrate mythological stories, making it one of the most respected classical dance forms in India.
