About this person
Belonging to the devadasi lineage, she preserved the traditional form of Bharatanatyam that embraced shringara, viewing it as beautiful and spiritual rather than immoral, unlike upper-caste dancers such as Rukmini Devi Arundale, who sought to reform the dance by removing its erotic elements.
