Bharatanatyam Hasta-Mudras

These set of icons are created to promote the Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam, basically developed from the book "Natya Shastra" by the ancient scholar Bharata Muni.
Bharatanatyam is a major genre of Indian classical dance.

Speaking in dance via gestures, rather than orally, in order to visually convey outer events or things, as well as inner feelings, two classifications of specific traditional 'MUDRA' (hand/finger gesture) are used in Bharatanatyam.
