Nattuvangam
Nattuvangam is a rhythmic and expressive art form integral to Indian classical dance, particularly in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Mohiniyattam. It involves the use of cymbals (talam) to produce intricate rhythmic patterns, guiding the dancer's movements and enhancing the performance's overall synchronization. Nattuvangam is not merely a rhythmic accompaniment but an art form in its own right. It showcases the intricate mathematical precision of Indian classical rhythms and highlights the dancer’s expertise, transforming the performance into an engaging and spiritual experience.
