B-Natyam Flash Cards - Double Hand Gestures (Samyuta Hastas) screenshot 2
Description
How would you use your hands to depict a tortoise? A boar? A pair of lovebirds? This app presents the double hand gestures (Samyuta Hastas) used in the ancient, vibrant, and phenomenally popular Indian Classical dance form Bharatanatyam, in a simple and interactive format that you can always keep literally at your fingertips.

The app features beautiful pictures of each double hand gesture, in an intuitive and swipable flash card format. Click on a gesture flashcard to flip it over and see its uses as prescribed in the ancient text, the Abhinaya Darpana. Click on the name of the gesture to hear its pronunciation.

Perhaps you are a student of Bharatanatyam, or a student of a different dance form wanting to know...
