History
Founded in 1589 as a garden suburb of Golconda, Hyderabad has belonged to the Mughal Empire since 1687. Asaf Jah († 1748) with the title Nisam al-Mulk (Nisam), who was appointed governor of the Decan in 1713, made himself independent of the Mughal Mughal in 1724 and founded a state (213 200 km 2, capital: Hyderabad), which was managed by his descendants until 1947, the Nisams of Hyderabad, and could only be incorporated after occupation by troops of the Indian Union (1948). In 1956 the former state of Hyderabad was divided into the states of Andhra Pradesh (with the capital Hyderabad), Bombay and Madras according to linguistic aspects.
Indian dance
In its classical form, the Indian dance of the Hindu worship service is the form of worship of the believers and temple dancers (Devadasis). The gods Shiva and Parvati are the models for the ritual dances. The cosmic creation dance Tandava (expression of action and power), through which Shiva created the world as king of dance (Nataraja), complements the graceful form Lasya (expression of love and beauty) of his wife. Nritta (dance with purely abstract movements) and Nritya (mimic dance that expresses feelings) determine the classical Indian dance as further important elements. The content comes from the Sanskritepes and many legends, the texts of which are presented by a singer with drum and string instrument accompaniment. The dramaturgy of dance according to Natyashastra (2nd – 5th centuries;Attributed to Bharata), in which the theater environment also takes up a large space, already describes 108 dance postures. The treatise »Abhinayadarpana« (5th – 10th centuries) is devoted exclusively to dance with detailed descriptions of hand gestures (mudras) and other body movements. The most important dance styles still cultivated today are: Bharata Natya (after Natyashastra) from South India, Kathakali (pantomime dance drama) from Kerala, Kathak from North India, Manipuri from Manipur, Odissi from Odisha and Kuchipudi from the village of the same name in Andhra Pradesh. – In addition to the classical dances, India preserved varied folk and tribal dances that differ according to states, occupations, castes and tribal groups.
According to BEST-MEDICAL-SCHOOLS, the ritual dances partially secularized, served the feudal lords as show dancers and the privately engaged dancers (Nac girls) as stimulating dances, some temple dancers were for sale. In 1947 the government passed a law prohibiting the ordination of little girls in temples. – Since the declaration of independence, the government has taken care of the maintenance of dances through the semi-state Sangit Natak Academy for Music and Dance. Private dance schools in all major cities are also making efforts.
