Kuchipudi mudras are hand gestures used in Kuchipudi, a classical Indian dance form originating from Andhra Pradesh. These mudras, or symbolic hand signs, play an essential role in storytelling within the dance. Each mudra conveys specific meanings, emotions, or elements of nature, helping dancers express narratives and emotions without spoken words. There are two main categories of mudras in Kuchipudi: 1. Asamyuta Hasta (Single-Handed Mudras): These are gestures using one hand. They represent things like objects, animals, or emotions, such as Pataka (flag) or Arala (bent). 2. Samyuta Hasta (Double-Handed Mudras): These use both hands together, often to show more complex symbols or actions, like Anjali (offering) or Kapota (dove). Each mudra aligns with ancient Sanskrit texts, particularly the Natya Shastra, which provides the foundation for Indian classical dance gestures, ensuring that Kuchipudi dancers can communicate a range of meanings through refined hand movements. read less

Kuchipudi originated in the 17th century with the creation by Sidhyendra Yogi of the dance-drama Bhama Kalapam, a story of Satyabhāma, the charming but jealous wife of the god Krishna. The dance performance begins with the sprinkling of holy water and the burning of incense.

rangapravesam, meaning "ascending to the stage" is a full-length dance performance. Usually, it is solo, but it can also be performed as a duet. It is similar to a graduation, as this is the transition between a student to a full dancer

Kuchipudi is a team performance, with roots in Hindu religious festivals. The drama-dance involves extensive stage movements and exacting footwork, wherein the underlying drama is mimed by expressive gestures of hand (mudras), eye and face movements.
