Who revealed Bharathanatyam to Bharatha?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Lord Bramha
💡 Explanation:
According to classical Indian dance tradition and the Natya Shastra, Lord Brahma revealed the Natya Veda (the fifth Veda containing dance knowledge) to the sage Bharata Muni. This forms the theoretical foundation of Bharathanatyam and other classical Indian dance forms. Shiva is considered the cosmic dancer, but Brahma is credited with revealing the knowledge to Bharata.
