Was Bharatnatyam Banned??!Here’s The Truth They Won’t Tell You!!
Look closely. What I’m wearing today symbolizes exactly what I’m about to talk about. The layered frocks of colonial dresses represent the imposed Westernization that tried to erase our traditions. But the jewelry and aesthetics of the Devadasis stand as a reminder of a rich cultural heritage that refused to fade.
During colonial rule, Bharatanatyam was labeled immoral, reduced to nautch, and almost erased—because it was never just a dance. It carried the power of our history, our texts, and our identity. They tried to wipe it out, just like they tried to erase the wisdom of our ancient scriptures.
But it survived. Because of cultural warriors—Rukmini Devi Arundale, Balasaraswati, Yamini Krishnamurthy, and countless others—who fought to reclaim it.
And today? Are we honoring Bharatanatyam as our legacy, or just treating it as another performance?

They were called 'Deva Kanyas' (Daughters of God), but the reality was far from divine. 💔
The world saw Devadasi.
Osho spoke of Dev Kanya.
Are they similar or completely different?

What if I tell you Lata Mangeshkar Mam’s art of singing was linked to devdasi system!
Yes you heard right! Mam Lata mangeshkar’s father master Deenanath used to serve Mangeshi temple of Goa, it was something passed on to him through his family.
Master deenanath’s mother belonged to devdasi community of Goa’s Mangeshi temple, she was called ‘Kalavantin’ because of her knowledge for performing art!
Master Deenanath learns this art from his mother and then he passed to his own kid mam Lata Mangeshkar!
Surprising right?
Now here is another surprising fact!
Devdasi system is still performed in some parts of the country.
In 2008 NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (NHRC) reported in front of UNO that there are almost 4.5 lakhs devdasis or more in INDIA!
Majorly minorities are more involved these days!
Is it not another example of women exploitation in INDIA!

Deodhani dance is a ritual dance of Assam performed in honour of serpant goddess Manasa. It is performed solo or in a group of three or four females. According to Padma Purana (one of the major eighteen Puranas), Behulaa had to dance before the goddess Manasa to get back her husband’s (Lakhindar) life.
The most shocking fact is that a dancer is an unmarried woman and devotee of Goddess Padma. The dancers keep her hair loose and dress like a female warrior.
She dances to the music of big drums known as Joi-dhol and cymbals with various hand gestures and intricate footwork. The dancer wears a Mekhela made of munga silk, red blouse, different traditional jewelry and leaves her hair open.
