EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "'Bharata Natyam', Madras (present day Chennai), India" transports us back to the vibrant cultural scene of 1965. The image captures a mesmerizing moment in time, showcasing the traditional Indian dance form known as Bharata Natyam. In this snapshot, we see a young female dancer gracefully adorned in an exquisite costume that reflects the rich heritage of Indian fashion and clothing. Her intricate necklace, bracelet, and earrings add a touch of elegance to her ensemble. As she poses against the backdrop of the sea, we are reminded of the breathtaking landscapes that surround Madras (now Chennai). The portrait not only highlights the beauty and poise of this adolescent dancer but also provides insight into the significance of Bharata Natyam as an art form deeply rooted in Indian culture. Through her expressive movements and gestures, she tells stories with her body, captivating audiences with every step. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph offers glimpses into various aspects such as anthropology, ethnography, folklore, population diversity among Indians and Asiatic populations. It explores how individual physiological and psychological aspects come together during performances like these. As we gaze at this image frozen in time by photographer Folco Quilici from Alinari's collection - it is impossible not to be drawn into its allure. The laughter-filled smile on our protagonist's face reminds us that traditions like Bharata Natyam bring joy not only to those who perform but also to those fortunate enough to witness them.
