Bharata Natyam Jewels

Workshop on the temple jewellery of Bharata Natyam, presented as part of O Museu Convida… Índia. A Bharata Natyam dancer from Companhia @tarikavalli.cia is dressed and adorned during the session, illustrating the symbolism and ritual behind each piece: sun and moon ornaments on the head, gold at the neck, arms and waist, and bells at the ankles. The workshop explores how jewellery made to adorn deities in South Indian temples came to be worn by Bharata Natyam dancers. The session starts at 15:00. Registration is available via the link in the museum’s bio.
