The 108 Karanas are sculpted at the Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram, South India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Nataraja, the presiding deity of dance. This DVD, created and performed by Lesandre, is a tribute to, and highlights, the Karanas which are the basic dance units of Bharata Natyam, and the mother source of the rich variety of Indian dance traditions.
