Bharatanatyam - Classical Indian Dance, Part 3 of 3

Guru Marie Elangovan will first explain the deeper meaning of the face paint and makeup dancers usually wear during performances. “Which is a spiritual eye which we can’t see, but it is there. And when we apply this red dot here on the forehead, it keeps our spiritual energy inside. So it’s like it tells parts to focus and have greater spiritual power.” “that purity of thoughts, purity of mind, purity of inspiration, so that’s a very important thing for the performance sake. I do believe that being vegetarian contributes to bringing purity of thoughts, more empathy towards the entire creatures on Earth, a sense of peace, feeling of lightness.”
