Description
Outside Budapest, I was treated to an Indian Classical theatrical dance. There were 3 ladies, I forget this one's name but she is from Germany and studied intensively in India for some years. The Theatre is called Muvelodesi Kozpont near the Mum Park Mall. Very professional performance and a good crowd as well.This position is called the "Lotus" which is the classical pose of the goddess Laxmi, its part of the classical dance called "Bharata Natyam" in India which is philosophically like the ballet in the West.

Hey, that was well composed. Also, the lighting is really good. It actually emphasizes the features of the artist and also overwhelms the audience with the striking pose!! Nice snap

Beautiful shot. I'm always intrigued by India. It's another place I would like to visit for its fascinating culture. I have read that these women have to study for years indeed, to master the body discipline and the body language required to tell a story through movements and poses. This is a gorgeous shot, I like how her face is almost completely in shadow, letting her costume and position take importance.

thx for commenting...and
yep, like ballet, its got some important disciplines of body and soul. The eyes are also used to great effect and practice in it - like any other discipline makes it more graceful.
