Issue Date: 1985
Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi
Description: This paper is discussed about the Varnam which is a form of Bharatanatyam. This highly stylized form (totally standardized in content as well as format) was a final recreation by the Tanjore quartet about two centuries ago. The evolution of the Varnam in basic form can be traced back through centuries. It was first a confluence, in about the tenth century, of one stream of development in the North and another stream of development in Tamil Nadu and the further development in the South of this confluence in concert with the golden age of Carnatic music. The paper is divided into three parts for describing Varnam socio-historical analysis of and its origins and development.
