HISTORY OF INDIAN DANCE

One of the legend has that the Goddess Parvathi
taught this dance art to Usha, the daughter of
demon Banasura. Later, Usha handed it to the
Gopikas of the city of Dwaraka, the Lord
Krishna's birth place. In reality, the Gods and
the Goddesses, being dancers themselves, have
been passing the art of the heavenly dance
through many human channels.
