Indian Dance

Dance in traditional Indian culture permeated all facets of life, but its

outstanding function was to give symbolic expression to abstract religious

ideas. The close relationship between dance and religion began very early in

Hindu thought, and numerous references to dance include descriptions of its

performance in both secular and religious contexts.

This combination of religious and secular art is reflected in the field of temple

sculpture, where the strictly iconographic representation of deities often

appears side-by-side with thee depiction of secular themes.
