• The Kathakars or story tellers were associated with the temples.

• They narrated stories of Gods and Goddess by using facial expressions and gestures.

• Under the Mughals the costumes and the style changed substantially.

• Kathak developed in two schools or gharans - the Jaipur and the Lucknow.

Answer 2

Kathak originated from Northern India through a group of Nomadic Bards. Katha means “Story telling” and Kathak means “art of story telling”. So Kathak is a dance that tells a story through alternative passages of mime and dance. Kathak dance is more or less similar to the classical dance Bharatnatyam.
