Kuchipudi is a classical dance form of India that originated in Andhra Pradesh. Traditionally performed as a dance-drama, it blends graceful movements, rhythmic footwork, and expressive storytelling to portray themes from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavata Purana. Unlike some other classical forms, Kuchipudi often includes both pure dance (Nritta) and dramatic performance (Natya), sometimes involving spoken dialogue and singing by the performers. Dancers wear vibrant costumes, jewelry, and use hand gestures (mudras) and facial expressions (abhinaya) to bring stories to life.
