Today we will be learning the Samyutha Hasta verses from Mr. Santosh Kumar.
Mudras, or hand gestures, play a vital role in Bharatanatyam, as they help convey a story. This video shows the asamyuta hastas, or single handed gestures. The relation ship between family members can also be expressed in the mudras of bharatanatyam. A few of them is described here: Husband and Wife Hold the Shikhara hasta on your left hand at the natyarambha level and the Mrigashirsha hasta on your right hand held at natyarambha level. This hasta is used to show the husband and wife in bharatanatyam. Bharatanatyam, along with the other classical art forms in India, has its origins in the manuscript called the Natya Shastra which was written by Sage Bharata around 4000 B.C. It was primarily conceived out of the urge to express one’s emotions and exuberance.

Note:
There can be slightly different readings of the above verse. For eg.
The last line may be taught as “khatvaa berundakaakeshcha ithyethe avahitha samyutha kara” depending on the reading used.
