    Bharata was a legendary sage whom Brahma, the god of creation himself is supposed to have instructed in the art of dance, for the purpose of propogating the art to all of mankind. The three syllables in the sage's name Bha-Ra-Ta, illustrate the three quintessential components of the dance, namely, Bhava (expression), Raga (melody) and Tala (rhythm). Bharatanatyam was nurtured in temples of South India, and even today has very close ties to religion. It is an exquisite blend of abstract dance (Nrtta) and graceful expression (Nrtya). Proficiency in the art is attained only after several years of intensive training, at which point a student is ready to 'ascend the stage' (arangetram) and present a concert-length solo recital to the public.
