Question

Composition about Kuchipudi dance

Answer 1

Kuchipudi (/kuːtʃiˈpuːdi/) is one of the eleven major Indian classical dances.[2] It originated in a village named Kuchipudi in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.[3]

Kuchipudi is a dance-drama performance, with its roots in the ancient Hindu Sanskrit text of Natya Shastra.[4][5][6] It developed as a religious art linked to traveling bards, temples and spiritual beliefs, like all major classical dances of India.[7] Evidence of Kuchipudi's existence in an older version are found in copper inscriptions of the 10th century, and by the 15th century in texts such as the Machupalli Kaifat.[8][9] Kuchipudi tradition holds that Tirtha Narayana Yati – a sanyassinof Advaita Vedanta persuasion,[10] and his disciple, an orphan named Siddhendra Yogi, founded and systematized the modern version of Kuchipudi in the 17th century.[11][12][13] Kuchipudi largely developed as a Hindu god Krishna-oriented Vaishnavismtradition,[14] and it is most closely related to Bhagavata Mela performance art found in Tamil Nadu.[8]
