Dance is one of the most important performing art forms in India. The earliest reference to Dance is quoted in Rig Veda and the term natya is often used in Vedic literature. Brahma is said to have compiled the necessary components from all the four Vedas, creating this fifth Veda – Panchama Veda or Natya Veda which is considered as the origin of Indian Classical Dance. It is infused with divine values and is a form of prayer to God. It is truly a way to attain salvation.
