Bharathanatyam is a traditional dance form of India. It is originated from South India. The word “Bharathanatyam” is a combination of two Sanskrit words; “Bharat” which means India and “Natyam” which means dance. And it is also a combination of three Tamil words; “Bhavam” (expression), “Ragam” (music), and “Thalam” (rhythm). As you might already know, Bharathanatyam is not the only traditional dance form of India. It is one of the main five forms which represent the five elements of nature; water, earth, wind, sky, and fire which is represented by Bharathanatyam.
For most of the non-Indian people, there is only one category of food in India which is “Indian food”. In a way, it is correct because yes, food originated from India is Indian food but the truth is that we can put “Indian food” just under that category. India is the most diversified country in the world, especially by its cuisine. So, in India, Indian food is commonly divided into two categories; South Indian & North Indian cuisine. Now, you might ask “Then, what are the differences between South Indian and North Indian cuisine?”
Hi there, my name is Krishnavani but you can refer to me as Krishna or Vani. I’m a Srilankan born Canadian. I left my beautiful country when I was around 7 years old. It means, I’ve been in Canada for more than 10 years. At the moment, I am a Hotel Management student at Lasalle College which is in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. So, the reasons why I decided to study this profession is because I love to travel, meet new people, and learn about different cultures, religions and languages.
I can’t say that I’ve traveled a lot in my life. So far, I only had the chance too visit, live, and experience two countries; Srilanka and Canada and that’s it. This is my #TravelDiary so far; not much!! Even though, I never had the opportunity to experience different places physically to educate myself about all the different things we have on our planet, I was always watching documentaries about different traditions, customs, countries, wonders and breath taking places in this planet, and this is why I have a very big wanderlust.
So, if you are someone who like to know about different traditions and cultures, you will definatly not be bored by this blog. Because this blog is all about it!! But, I will more specifically talk about South Asia.
P.S. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I will do my 110% to give relevant and interesting information.
Enjoy my blog
XOXO
