Nagasita - Temple Guardian 

AllThatArt byTrisha You are absolutely correct I felt up to the four minute mark there was so much going on...Her repertoire is vast but once that four minute mark hit She began to Flow and Man I wished I was in that Audience!

Or that other Realm in another time and SPace!

Agree, very inspiring! Practising yoga and bellydance to fight against PTSD

Yes. The performance was absolutely mesmerizing and powerfully feminine.

Fatima Ali Akbar that IS THE MOST RUDE COMMENT EVER MADE

61 jealous people I guess... people don't realize the work it takes to get to that level. It's easier to be insecure haters lol

@@memyselfeye4188 I'm thinking you know nothing of women. LOL

@@memyselfeye4188 It seems your definition of a woman is wrong. Sorry to tell you.

People take offense for the stupidest of reasons. Many people would be offended by her state of undress or music they perceive to be otherworldly.

Yes. Very beautiful.

Yes. It was wonderful.

valerie gurshman amazing dance...but she doing mimicry of indian classic dance..she should learn it .if so, that will be a fantastic job..

Suni Dutt Bhagwati Sir Hindu Goddess are the image of divine Mother or energy forms . They descend the earth with purpose . For the restoration of peace and destruction of evils . They are not in a seductress form . If you are talking about carvings in temples then the main goddess within the garbagriha( inner sanctum) is in a divine form , in either the Abhaya mudra or ashirvad pose . It is only the outer part of the ancient South temples you see dedicated to art . Here it is not goddess but the court dancers that are shown posing in dance movements . Sometimes it is the queen herself like queen shantala , wife of Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana , she was a dancer and her sculpted her dancing figures in outer part of temples . Not within . You see such temples in south India .during Hoysala , chola and Pallava period . Don’t compare our Devi’s with the dancer in the video . There is no comparison with divinity .She is a good dancer appreciate her but no need of misrepresenting.

if? lol

They do exist and these dances are but a small part of the original culture in india which is ancient ..the goddesses existed and inspired generations after them

J K F Don’t lie , the goddess are not shown in dancing forms , they are shown with Abhaya Mudra or blessing forms . Some in fierce form maybe but not in seductive poses . The dancing figures are only carved in the outer walls not in the Garba graha ( inner sanctum) . They form the outer decorum of the temples and they depict the court dancers not Godess . This is the norm in South Indian temples . In fact in some temples you even get to see the cravings of the Queen , like shantala wife of king Vishnuvardhanna of Hoysala dynasty , she is a dancer herself and used to perform in temples . The goddess are seen as divine mother or energy forms . They are not given a seductive image .

@@rai3086 after u wrote so much ..u still are insinuating I lie.... Ha ha u are so naive and so stupid in your narrow knowledge .. Open your horizons... Not shown in seductive poses...what gives u that impression... Indian and sanatana dharma is all about embracing life in all its forms and sexual manisfations and expressions are a big part of it... Wow u have work cut out for u if this is your gathering

J K F Indian civilisation has many aspects to it art and culture is equally appreciated, but that does not mean that you misinterpret anything and every thing . The Devi ‘s or Shakti tradition of India is unique and represents powerful energy forms and they are revered as divine mothers not seductress. So don’t confuse apsara carvings and Devi ( goddess ) of India . The dancing figures you are talking are the depiction of apsaras /court dancers. I do visit most ancient temples and learn about them by the pujaris or the ASI members present there . So don’t create false impressions . People will not tolerate a Durga mata or Shakti being compared here with a dancer . She is a great dancer, appreciate her art . No need for comparison were it doesn’t exist .

it is called tribal fusion it does include some elements of belly dance but it is quite a different thing but still a beautiful performance i agree with u

@@rottenbunnycorpselp9240 Thank you for expaining the meaning, I had wondered.
