Hi Anjali,
I had learnt bharatanatyam for 3 years when i was in school. But had to quit it due to health problems. I used to perform western dances in school, but learning bharatanatyam has always been a desire. I am 22 now and wanted to start learning all over again. Now I am studying abroad and do not have any training available nearby. I have started with the basics and your website is proving to be really resourceful.
Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
Please give me information, how to make kapi mudra or vanara mudra
Vanara can be shown my keeping Mukula hasta Right hand raised up and left hand at the level of the chest both facing down.
