This shot was taken on my visit to a temple in Cochin, Kerala where I found this ladg performing the ancient "Bharathanatyam" a pre-eminent Indian classical dance form presumably the oldest classical dance heritage of India. It initiated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and eventually flourished in South India. Theoretical base of this form traces back to ‘Natya Shastra’, the ancient Sanskrit Hindu text on the performing arts . EOS 200D EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6L f/5.7 ISO 800 1/100 152mm
