"...a Bharata Natyam performer is not just the culmination of years of practice and training, nor yet a symbol of a tradition that fades into mythology. It is a visual interpretation of all the arts of India, of music and rhythm, literature and poetry, sculpture and painting.
It's a mirror of the Universe, reflected through a series of emotional states. It is the final worship.
Dance is a form of Yoga".
(from "The story of a Dance: Bharata Natyam", Krishna Dahai, 2003, New Delhi- Indialog publ. , p. 147)
